In this final seminar, we will explore how Schmitt concretely applied the ideas we have studied over the last seven weeks. Nowhere is this clearer than in ‘State, Movement, People’ where Schmitt employs his political thought to justify and legitimise the Nazi regime. We will examine how the logical conclusion of Schmitt's political thought is an authoritarian anti-liberal regime predicated upon substantive homogeneity which Schmitt found in Nazi Germany.
