Abstract
The subject of the author's analysis is a late essay by Carl
Schmitt, Hamlet or Hecuba. According to the author, this essay is
Schmitt's attempt at un esthetic recapitulation of his entire
theoretical and political convictions. It is significant that Schmitt does
not make any adjustments in his theoretical and potitical opinions
despite the historical failure of his ideas and despite the
accumulated historical experience.
Besides, the author highlights and interprets those aspects of
Nietzsche's philosophy and Scheler's early phenomenology and
anthropology that permanently influenced Schmitt and consequently
his interpretation of Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet, i.e. Nietzsche's
and Scheler's definition of tragic and fictional in human activity.
