Galli argues that Schmitt's main accomplishment, as well as the thread that unifies his oeuvre, is his construction of a genealogy of the modern that explains how modernity's compulsory drive to achieve order is both necessary and impossible. Galli addresses five key problems in Schmitt's thought: his relation to the state, the significance of his concept of political theology, his readings of Machiavelli and Spinoza, his relation to Leo Strauss, and his relevance for contemporary political theory. Galli emphasizes the importance of passing \u003ci\u003ethrough\u003c\/i\u003e Schmitt's thought--and, more important, \u003ci\u003ebeyond\u003c\/i\u003e Schmitt's thought--if we are to achieve insight into the problems of the global age.
