When considering friendship Maurice Blanchot refers to the statement: 'Ah, my friends, there is no friend', ascribed to Aristotle. By Auschwitz it is impossible to look at a friend without certain distrust and the friendship finds its 'true name' in the core of this aporetic tension and invincible contradiction. For Blanchot the 'true name of friendship' is a faceless friendship beyond the notion of friend, which after the holocaust could reintroduce the infinite into our thinking.

„Swój” czy „obcy”? o mechanizmie dehumanizacji

In the following considerations the author attempts to describe mechanisms of the process which he calls dehumanization. According to the author this process allows to explain mechanisms leading to genocide. For we know from history that “genocide is always preceded by dehumanization of future victims – all groups are dressed up in uniforms, and by bad life conditions perpetrators try to drive victims to such a state in which they will not arouse sympathy any more”. Strangers are always treated in a different way, as worse ones, subhumans. The author calls such phenomenon after Jacques-Philippe Leyens “infra-humanization, i.e. a subtle dehumanization of members of a group of strangers”. Creating emotional difference between these two groups results in not as much competition but, in the case of any dependence of one group on another one, in infrahumanization of the dependent one. The power of exclusion mechanism is also so mighty that the subordinate group generally accepts its oppressive situation. At the same time infra-humanization kills a part of humanity, depriving people of trust in others and of optimism in life.

The aim of the article is to show two possible aspects of the Carl Schmitt ́s political theology – the first in relation to man and his situation in the modern times and the second oriented toward the history. It seems that Schmitt ́s political theology has at least two aforementioned aspects, which deserves our attention. Political theology as a project is centred on man as an irreducible and incalculable being. Political theology as a process traces the evolution of political concepts from its theological origin. The article is based also on the interpretation which can be found in Leo Strauss ́ Notes on Carl Schmitt ́s text The Concept of the Political and its H. Meier reception.
