Beschreibung
Behemoth and Leviathan. Rebellion and governmental order, state of civil war and sovereign statesperson. Since Thomas Hobbes' publication of »Leviathan«, political theory has not been able to detach itself from these two biblical monsters whose images capture the modern political spirit. Horst Bredekamp's history of the »Prefiguration of the Modern State« and its mutations marks the onset of more recent interpretations (Thomas Hobbes. Der Leviathan. Das Urbild des modernen Staates und seine Gegenbilder, 1651-2001. Berlin 1999, 2006). Yet Leviathan can only be understood against the foil of its doppelgänger, the land animal Behemoth, which is - following Carl Schmitt - the political symbol of the natural state's revolutionary anarchic force. Its visual history is no less convoluted. In his recent study, Horst Bredekamp pursues the two beasts' political history by focusing on the Jobian monster's historical metamorphosis. Concurrently, it is the first volume of the »Carl Schmitt Lectures« series, publishing the annual lectures of the Carl Schmitt Society in Berlin. von Bredekamp, Horst
