Péter Techet at the Workshop “Carl Schmitt in Eastern Europe” at the University of Bamberg

In cooperation between the University of Bamberg and the University of St. Gallen, a handbook on the reception and continuing influence of Carl Schmitt in Eastern Europe is being planned. Péter Techet will write the chapter on Carl Schmitt in Hungary. In it, he will discuss the sporadic reception of Carl Schmitt during the interwar period, Georg Lukács’s views on Schmitt, the more intensive engagement with Schmitt after 1990, and especially the influence of Schmittian ideas on Orbán’s regime.

On March 5 and 6, a workshop took place at the University of Bamberg with the other authors, where the papers and case studies were discussed.
