Features: The book "The Political Romantics" consists of two parts: "The Political Romantics" and "The State of the Idea of Parliamentary Government Today." The first part primarily elaborates on Schmitt's basic views on German Romanticism. Starting from the real-life situation of German intellectuals, it discusses the position of Romanticism in the history of ideas, clarifies the fundamental views of Romanticism on real social life, and demonstrates that its essence is a kind of political taste. "The State of the Idea of Parliamentary Government Today" similarly begins with practical issues, revealing the metaphysical foundation of liberal democratic parliamentary government in the history of ideas. Overall, the book focuses on organizing the Romantic spirit that permeates Europe and the liberal democratic parliamentary system within the context of the history of ideas. It is a rare and outstanding work in the history of ideas.
