This study analyses one of the aspects of J. B. Metz´s political theology, more precisely its anthropological aspect; it contrasts the means and objectives of the political theology with the "non-political politics". Political theology itself is one of the unofficial branches of the present-day Catholic theology; theology after the Second Vatican Council. It distinguishes itself critically from the neo-tomistic interpretation of the world – from the neo-tomistic metaphysics which depicts the world in the dichotomy of the good God and the evil human. Political theology at the background of Kant´s criticism of ontotheology emphasizes „sinful“, ordinary people and their world. It aims to construct a unified world without the superstructure of the religious supernatural; it treats man as a subject that thinks god and is his partner at the transformation of the world. According to J.B. Metz, the anamnestic reason, memoria passions, is the tool for the transformation of the world = the uncompleted Enlightenment project.

The aim of the article is to show what place the fight (polemos) occupies in a broader context marked out by the theory of the political, political theology, and the criticism of modernity or modern human. On this basis the key role the fight plays in Schmitt’s political philosophy can be demonstrated. This role of the fight is then recognizable first of all in the correspondence between his critical cultural and juridical philosophical writings as well as on the background of Schmitt’s evaluation of his own spiritual condition as presented in particular in his diaries.

This article aims to introduce the mutual links between the key political points (political-philosophical and political-theological) of Carl Schmitt’s writings, set against the background of his own specific anthropology, which could be seen as inspired by Christianity, though certainly not traditional. The text shows the links between the “theory of the politics”, based on the categories of friend and enemy, and political theology, which can be understood as a process and even an (anthropological) project. This basis, formulated primarily in his key text The Concept of the Politics in its first and later editions is then compared, seen in anthropological perspective, with the central problems of earlier texts (The Value of the State and the Meaning of the Individual and Dictatorship) with the aim to indicate the development and continuity of C. Schmitt’s work. The paper shows that the theory of the politics is not reducible to the so-called “theory of friend / enemy”; its full understanding rather requires taking into consideration Schmitt’s anthropological stand, which in the twentieth century represents a specific and peculiar critique of modern thought and “modern man”. Despite the fact that Schmitt is a very problematic figure, it cannot be denied that his analyses, especially those from the 1920s, have their considerable worth even today.

In the East Slavic historical consciousness, the sacrifice of the first canonized Rus’ saints Boris and Gleb (died in 1015) came to be viewed as a reflection of the sacrifice of the Old Testament figure Abel and as a model of the imitation of Christ concerning the renouncement of secular power. The author of this article advocates the following thesis: the fact that the first canonized East Slavic saints came from the secular ruling elite testifies to the attempts of the Rus’ literati to stress the strong influence of recently adopted Christianity on politically important decisions in Kievan Rus’, which allegedly achieved its religious “maturity” within the context of salvation history through this. The existence of the martyrs among the secular ruling elite, however, cannot be viewed as a specific element of East Slavic medieval culture alone because this type of sainthood was, despite local differences, present in recently Christianized lands on the northern and eastern periphery of Europe at the time.

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.
