Pluralism in the context of the political

Master thesis | Political Science (MSc)
This paper examines Carl Schmitt’s notion of pluralism, and as such focuses on his conception of the political. To formulate an answer to this paper’s central research question – ‘Is the Schmittian notion of pluralism fundamentally at odds with the concept of the political?’ –, a diverse landscape of arguments had to be traversed. As a first approximation, the results hold that the Schmittian notion is in fact at odds with the concept of the political. Ultimately, these considerations aim to enrich and complement the debate surrounding the theory of the political.
