Nova prisutnost, 03/2024, Volume: XXII, Issue: 1Journal Article
Članak obrađuje pitanje aktualnosti »stare« političke teologije njemačkog jurista Carla Schmitta koja, upriličena kao »sociologija juridičkih pojmova«, a potom i kao »stasiologija«, potkrjepljuje njegovu decizionističku teoriju države i realpolitičku teoriju međunarodnih odnosa. Autor se u tome ponajprije oslanja na znanstveni rad istaknutog hrvatskog politologa Davora Rodina, koji se i sam dotaknuo iste teme prije više od trideset godina. Uz Rodinovu raščlambu Schmittove kritike liberalne demokracije, posebna pozornost se posvećuje problemu legitimnosti liberalno-demokratskog političkog poretka te važnosti proceduralne uspostave političke vlasti uslijed nesumjerljivosti teorije i prakse. Uvažavajući Rodinov argument da stremljenje k političkoj transcendenciji, to jest, poistovjećivanju »auctoritas« u »potestas«, vodi uspostavi totalitarne države, ovaj članak propituje kako liberalna demokracija danas i u budućnosti može osigurati vjerodostojnost u očima javnosti ponad tek zakonske zaštite ljudskih prava i građanskih sloboda. Ujedno, zagovara aktualnost nove političke teologije Johanna Baptista Metza, koja obrazlože mjesto vjere u svijetu bez nijekanja humanističkog duha i postignuća novovjekovlja. The article addresses the relevance of the political theology of the German jurist Carl Schmitt, which, formulated as »the sociology of legal concepts«, and also as »stasiology«, underpins his decisionist theory of the state as a plebiscitary democracy and Realpolitik theory of international relations. The author primarily relies on the scientific work of prominent Croatian political scientist Davor Rodin, who himself wrote on the same topic more than thirty years ago. Alongside Rodin’s analysis of Schmitt’s critique of liberal democracy, special attention is paid to the problem of the legitimacy of the liberal-democratic political order and the importance of the procedural formation of government due to the incommensurability of theory and practice. Acknowledging Rodin’s argument that striving for political transcendence, that is, conflating auctoritas with potestas, leads to the establishment of the totalitarian state, this article questions how liberal democracy today and in the future can secure its legitimacy in the eyes of the public beyond purely legal protection of human rights and civil liberties. At the same time, it argues in the favour of the new political theology of Johann Baptist Metz, which tries to explain the relationship of the faith to the world without denying the humanistic spirit and achievements of the modern age.
