A pesar de sus raíces conservadoras y su compromiso político con el nacional-socialismo, Carl Schmitt y su obra han sido recuperados por la teoría democrática y el pensamiento político posfundacional como fuente para pensar la política de un modo radical. Pero ¿Es Schmitt útil para un pensamiento post-tradicional? En este artículo argumentaré que sólo a través de una revisión crítica del concepto de teología política –y de su relación con la modernidad– es posible responder a esta pregunta. Para Schmitt, la teología política significa, simultáneamente, el reconocimiento de la ruptura radical con la tradición y el desafío a la búsqueda moderna de autonomía política. Partiendo de esta dicotomía, restituiré el carácter ambiguo y controvertido del concepto teología política con el objeto de delimitar las posibilidades de apropiación de la obra de Schmitt para un pensamiento político radicalDespite his conservative roots and his personal engagement with the National Socialist Party, Carl Schmitt and his work have been recovered by democratic theory and post-foundational political thought as a possible source for thinking about politics in a radical way. Is Schmitt useful for a post-traditional thinking? In this paper I will argue that only through a critical review of the concept of political theology – and its relationship to modernity – is it possible to give an answer to that question. Political theology means, in Schmitt’s thought, simultaneously the challenge of the modern search for political autonomy and the recognition of the radical break with tradition. In this regard, I will try to restore the ambiguous and controversial concept in order to delimit the possibilities of the appropriation of Schmitt’s work for a radical political thought
