Keywords: Leviathan; Carl Schmitt; Thomas Hobbes;
Summary/Abstract: Schmitt’s attitude towards Hobbes’ theory of state and law is evident in all of his works. It Is possible to demonstrate Schmitt’s omission of the constitutive elements of the notions of state and law, particularly the substance of these notions — freedom; thereby, Schmitt also failed to deal with the conditions necessary for the existence of freedom, lie perceives Hobbes’ Leviathan as an institution of mere establishment of a nation understood in terms of the state and thus fails to see the main point of Hobbes’ work.
