Walter Benjamin y Carl Schmitt: Palabras cruzadas de un diálogo mudo en un tiempo agitado

Abstract

The present paper, seeks to oppose the written production of Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt, searching the links and breaks of theirs philosophical or political view, concerning to concepts like state of exception and sovereignty. We propose a reading -in chronological order- of his works between 1920 and 1930, like a mute dialogue, in which the starting point is common but the critiques and the distance among both of them become more evident and abysmal.
