Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the process in which the political is being neutralized as well as the attempt by Carl Schmitt to establish the political in opposition to the moral, religious, economic, and technical. The process of neutralizating the political is taking place exactly in liberalism, which is based on a precisely defined concept of culture. According to this concept it is considered that the totality of human action and thought takes place in areas separated from, but also connected with each other. The author points to the dominance of the political in the defining of the order of human living but he also indicates the difficulties in the transcending of the liberal model of political community.
