卡爾.施米特與陀思妥耶夫斯基的宗教大法官

Carl Schmitt and the Grand Inquisitor of Dostoevsky

並列摘要


Carl Schmitt is one of the most controversial, and yet charismatic figures, in the history of world political thought, in the 20th century. His literary interpretation is also one access to the study of his thought. By analyzing Schmitt's elaboration of "the Grand Inquisitor" in Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov, this article actually shows the similarities between Schmitt and the Grand Inquisitor: they have a similar anthropological starting point; they both question Christ's response to the three temptations from the Devil in the wilderness; and they both categorize themselves as a part of a special "elite group" and thus choose a "faith that deprives people of liberty". In the end, it led both of them to the denial of eschatology and redemption. The literary figure of "the Grand Inquisitor" mirrors the serious deviation of Schmitt from the doctrines of the Christian faith. This comparative study also opens up a cross-time dialogue between Dostoevsky and Schmitt, thus forming a critical examination of Schmitt's political theology.
