Carl Schmitt's friend/enemy principle is exposed to in-depth philosophical analysis and historical examination with the aim of showing that the political follows hostility, violence and terror as form follows matter. The book argues that the partisan is an umbrella concept that includes the national and global terrorist.
"Slomp offers a provocative analysis of Carl Schmitt's understanding of hostility and the partisan useful for those who are just now encountering his thought and those long acquainted with it... In thinking through Schmitt's account of hostility, Slomp provides a useful category for thinking about contemporary terrorism." - CHOICE
