This post will be of a little different flavor than my usual posts because here, I won’t strictly be advocating anything, rather I will be tracing the history of two words and their Latin equivalents as used in Schmittian theory and misused in post-Schmittian theory.
The two words are “enemy” and “foe”, or “hostis” and “inimicus”.
To spare any of my blog’s casual readers, the etymological analysis will be after the jump.
