Abstract

Several authors show the differences between the thought of Schmitt and the political philosophy of Aristotle. The concept of the political Schmitt’s, with its emphases on enmity, violence and exception seems to be an example of what is precisely not the political philosophy of Aristotle. In this article I want to hold the opposite view, namely that there exists a close proximity between the fundamental concepts of Schmitt’s political thought and the ideas of Aristotle.
