Heidegger called into question not only Schmitt’s friend–enemy dichotomy, but also his concept of “the political.” Besides being relevant because it anticipated a debate that would take place much later, in the course of the twentieth century, Heidegger’s criticism of Schmitt, the last great metaphysician of politics, was decisive because of its theme of Judaism, given that it took away any basis for the absolute “enemy” with which the Jew was identified.

Although they are limited to a few pages and have an elliptical form, the passages from Heidegger’s 1934 seminar on Hegel are very explicit.364 Heidegger overturned Schmitt’s conception: for him, the friend–enemy relationship was not the beginning, that from which “the political” took its origin; rather, it was the opposite – it was its outcome.

Friend-Enemy-Relation an essential consequence of the political – but not this itself.
