Political Aesthetics

Predmet autorove analize je kasni spis Carla Schmitta "Hamlet ili Hekuba". Prema autorovu mišljenju Schmitt u tom spisu poduzima estetsku rekapitulaciju svog cjelokupnog teoretskog i političkog uvjerenja. Karakteristično je da Schmitt prema autorovom uvidu ništa ne mijenja na svojim teoretskim i političkim stavovima usprkos povijesnom porazu njegovih ideja i usprkos stečenom povijesnom iskustvu. Uz to autor pokazuje i interpretativno razrađuje one aspekte Nietzscheove filozofije i Schelerove rane fenomonologije i antropologije koje su trajno utjecale na Schmitta pa tako i na njegovu interpretaciju Shakespearove tragedije "Hamlet". Riječ je o Nietzscheovom i Schelerovom određenju tragičnog i fiktivnog u ljudskom djelovanju.The subject of the author\u27s analysis is a late essay by Carl Schmitt, Hamlet or Hecuba. According to the author, this essay is Schmitt\u27s attempt at un esthetic recapitulation of his entire theoretical and political convictions. It is significant that Schmitt does not make any adjustments in his theoretical and potitical opinions despite the historical failure of his ideas and despite the accumulated historical experience. Besides, the author highlights and interprets those aspects of Nietzsche\u27s philosophy and Scheler\u27s early phenomenology and anthropology that permanently influenced Schmitt and consequently his interpretation of Shakespeare\u27s tragedy Hamlet, i.e. Nietzsche\u27s and Scheler\u27s definition of tragic and fictional in human activity
