Reviews for Janus´s Gaze: Essays on Carl Schmitt
"For many Schmitt scholars unable to read in Italian, the translation of Carlo Galli’s Janus’s Gaze is a very welcome—and relatively long-awaited—development. . . . A must for anyone with an interest in Schmittian thought and, more broadly, perhaps for anyone wishing to understand debates in contemporary political theory better."
