Round Table Discussion

Carl Schmitt claims that political concepts are secularized theological concepts, and he claims that understandings of political sovereignty correlate with understandings of divine sovereignty.2 Because of the emphasis Schmitt places on the political sovereign, as the protagonist of Political Theology; because of the association of Schmitt’s ideas with National Socialism, justifying a certain form of sovereignty for the Führer; and because of the apparent centrality of sovereignty in discussions of political theory, Schmitt’s readers often take sovereignty as the key secularized theological concept. This has resulted in sovereignty being at the heart of the contemporary discourse on political theology. Giorgio Agamben’s The Kingdom and the Glory rejects, or at least complicates, the centrality of sovereignty to political theology.3 In doing so, he makes room for political theology to have a more expansive remit, and he reassures skeptics who would charge political theology with leaning on outdated, unrefined conceptions of both the political and the theological.
