Summary
The studies depict the 'crown jurists' of the Weimar presidential system and the national socialists as being eccentric bohemians, aesthetes and virtuosos of life, who lived under a state of emergency and were polemically marginalized by congenial adversaries, such as Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin and Ernst Jünger, and as a result developed radical forms of a so-called concept's war technique.
