Article: On political theology and the possibility of superseding it
I don't post notes on the many (work-in-progress) papers on political theology that are around online (mostly conference presentations).
Here's a paper, though, of which an online version has been available for some years, but that ultimately got published in a journal: Paulina Echoa Espejo (Yale), "On political theology and the possibility of superseding it" ("Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy", 13 [4], November 2010: pp. 475-94).
Quote: "The analogies between religious and secular juridical arguments interest political theorists because they suggest a hidden link between religion and politics. ... This thesis - political theology - has become associated with Carl Schmitt, but the argument in this paper differs importantly from his. Unlike Schmitt, this paper claims that in the contemporary state political theology can be superseded."
