The author tries to redirect Kervégan’s method of «thinking with Schmitt against Schmitt» into «thinking with Schmitt beyond Schmitt» as Apel would have done. This different approach could help in preserving and restoring the targets of Schmitt’s critics – i.e. liberal democratic regimes and their Constitutions – by using his own conceptual arsenal. Marzocchi offers, for instance, an original reinterpretation of Schmitt’s Verfassung-slehre employing the ideas presented there with constructive purposes instead of disruptive ones.
