Abstract

In this article, the ideal types “political theology” and “messianism impolitic” are reconstructed in their essential elements, analyzing their potential and their limitations in order to appoint two conflicting understandings of politics. After that, an idea of politics that takes the best of each one of these types and avoid their dangers, is outlined. This politics is called the “third liberalism”.
