Article: Secularization, History, and Political Theology: The Hans Blumenberg and Carl Schmitt Debate

Another article on Schmitt/Blumenberg: Celina María Bragagnolo (SUNY, Stony Brook), "Secularization, History, and Political Theology: The Hans Blumenberg and Carl Schmitt Debate" ("Journal of the Philosophy of History", 5 [1], 2011: pp. 84-104).

Quote: "Considering the enormous outpouring of scholarly work on Schmitt over the last two decades, the absence of an adequate treatment in English of Schmitt's concept of history and the problem of secularization is quite surprising. ... This article is an attempt to address this problem by means of his exchange with Hans Blumenberg who, more than any other critic of Schmitt, was privy to the political intentions behind Schmitt's metaphorical use of theology."
