The problems related to the political thought of Piłsudkiites — called the ruling camp by Tomasz Chłopecki — had already been a subject of numerous studies. The literature on the subject in ample and generally accessible. The author of the reviewed book decided to supplement the existent analyses of the political and legal thought in the subperiod 1935–1939, which — although significant for the interwar history — had been analyzed less extensively. I regard the choice of the subject legitimate and the analysis itself important, although not free from defects, mistakes and errors. Having read the book, I cannot fully support the author’s conclusions. The goal and the intention are one thing, and the execution another. As regards the latter, I wish to make two general remarks. Firstly, the factual sphere does not raise objections, although some substantial mistakes I had found should not have made it through the publishing process. Secondly, the interpretational scope with reference to the political and legal thought does raise objections, which I demonstrate in an extensive polemic review. Moreover, in my opinion, the book is confined strictly to one discipline: history.

The main objective of the paper is to present and discuss the main legal-theoretical interpretations of Schmitt’s thought that were carried out in Poland between 1928 and 2008. Leaving aside political or philosophical perspectives, the author examines one dimension of the reception of Carl Schmitt’s thought in Poland, i.e. the reception developed by legal theorists and historians. Schmitt, a renowned German legal theorist of the 20th century, was known to Polish legal science in the 1920s but his esteem was by far less than Kelsen’s. The fact which deeply influenced the pre-war (1930s) and post-war reception of his theories in Poland was his access to the Nazi movement. In the following decades Schmitt was morally condemned as a‘Kronjurist’ of the Third Reich. In the 1990s theorists began to interpret his thought in amore neutral, value-free way.
