In his contribution, Jens Hacke considers the potentials of a liberal reception of Schmitt from the perspective of political science. On the one hand, he highlights the descriptive value of some of Schmitt’s theorems when being taken up and modified under liberal premises. On the other hand, he argues that liberal positions can gain in profile by confronting Schmitt's objections. Moreover, Hacke argues that Schmitt’s affirmative explanations of concepts such as “people”, “unity”, and “homogeneity” can provide insights into current populist mechanisms that weaken present democracies.
