Réflexions sur la Guerre civile à l’époque des idéologies (1929-1939). Carl Schmitt et Karl Polanyi
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the concept of civil war during the Thirties (1929-1939). To this purpose, the work analyses the development of the Civil War discourse in the thought of Carl Schmitt and Karl Polanyi, trying to focalize on the relationship between its consequences on the civil war and the conflicting ideologies which characterised that period. Hence, the Civil war is described, through these different narrations, showing two different sides of modernity: the destructive and dangerous one on the one hand, and the transformative and soteriological on the other.
