The aim of this paper is to analyse the political and legal philosophy of Anacharsis Cloots, a Prussian-born French philosopher, through the constructs characteristic of Carl Schmitt’s philosophy, i.e. political theology and sovereignty. The author of the paper undertakes historiosophical criticism, which takes up the theological dilemmas in a strongly atheistic argumentation of Anacharsis Cloots and the possibility of developing a new social model while at the same time mediating from the achievements of European Legal Culture and Western (not only Continental) Philosophy. The originality of Anacharsis Cloots’ methodical approach to the jurisprudence is based on the recognition of transitivity as a decisive category for the “Political”. Anacharsis Cloots transvaluated medieval political theology and opened up a new perspective, which was developed by Modern Philosophy.
