"Carl Schmitt is primarily interested in the political-legal background of events and persons - he traces this to poetry, to characters in the dramas of Schiller and Shakespeare. I, on the other hand, am concerned, however successfully, with the mythical core of history, which continues to have effects in the present – for example, with regard to technology and the modern titans, as well as the relationship between East and West.
This distinction did not affect our discussions; on the contrary, it often seemed to me as though Carl Schmitt brought the chessboard for our pieces. Sometimes he would set one aside – it was not easy for him to admit an error, but he paid its due tribute in logic."
- Ernst Jünger
