ABSTRACT
The political concepts, images, and terms of Carl Schmitt have a polemical meaning. They focus on a specific conflict and bounds to a concrete situation. Schmitt's statement in political theology declares that all significant concepts of the modern theory of state are secularized theological concepts. According to Schmitt's view, the political refers to a sphere of human relations that distinguishes from others. The concept of the political Schmitt declares the political world, as a pluriverse, not a universe. The political draws on three principal conceptual registers: the ontological, the anthropological and the historical. The core of Schmitt's thought lies in the paradox of a founding rupture, where all foundations are necessarily ruptured. The political produces spatiality through its very 'taking place': a spatiality that divides along the antagonistic lines of political difference. If the political is concrete, situational and existential, Schmitt's theorization presumes the spatiality of the political, and indeed an inherent relation between spatial and ontological.
