By drawing from Schmitt's postwar notebooks, this article reconstructs Schmitt's criticism of utopian political thought as part of his broader critique of technicity. This paper begins with Schmitt's conceptual history of utopianism within the context of two "de-localizations" of space and human nature. It then unearths Schmitt's unique understanding of utopia as the annihilation of space and the negation of law. Schmitt's concern with utopianism is revealed to lie at the center of his postwar thought and thereby offers a new prism through which to interpret his theory of international politics and the law of nations.
通过借鉴施密特战后的笔记，本文重构了施密特对乌托邦政治思想的批判，这是他对技术化更广泛批判的一部分。本文从施密特在空间和人性的两次“去地域化”背景下对乌托邦主义的概念史入手。接着揭示了施密特对乌托邦的独特理解，即空间的湮灭和法律的否定。施密特对乌托邦主义的关注被证明处于他战后思想的核心，从而提供了一个新的视角来解读他的国际政治理论和万国法。
