With Political Theology and Its Discontents, K. Daniel Cho and Boštjan Nedoh present a series of powerful challenges to Carl Schmitt’s still-influential notion of political theology. Schmitt sometimes is simply dismissed for his Nazism. At other times, leftist critical engagements with him tend merely to appropriate his conceptions of sovereignty and the friend-enemy distinction as useful for radical leftism too. What distinguishes Political Theology and Its Discontents is that it convincingly demonstrates how bringing Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis to bear on Schmittian political theology utterly transforms the latter. The psychoanalytic reinterpretations of Schmitt’s ideas and texts offered by the essays in this volume reveal that neither politics nor theology can be limited to what Schmitt took them to be. Cho and Nedoh’s Political Theology and Its Discontents is a timely, invaluable, and highly original reconsideration of the contemporary interrelationships between politics and religion in Schmitt’s wake. Nobody concerned with our current geo-political circumstances can afford to ignore this path-breaking collection. * Adrian Johnston, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA *
