Episode 32 - Pt. 4 Carl Schmitt, States of Exception, and Political Theology with Matthew Lowery

Jules speaks with Matthew Lowery, one of the cohosts of the Acid Horizon Podcast, about the political works of Carl Schmitt. This conversation is part 4 in the arch of this show, and would naturally follow after our previous episodes discussing Heidegger, Fascism, and Traditionalism. Matthew explains to us who Carl Schmitt was, why one would wish to engage with his work, and makes clear that Carl Schmitt was a Nazi bastard but his ideas are still relevant to contemporary politics.
