Carl Schmitt The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy
The essential point for the liberal parliamentary system is that discussion takes the place of force-decision.

Wittgenstein Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
The book deals with the problems of philosophy and shows, as I believe, that the method of formulating these problems rests on the misunderstanding of the logic of our language. Its whole meaning could be summed up somewhat as follows: What can be said at all can be said clearly; and whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent. The book will, therefore, draw a limit to thinking, or rather not to thinking, but to the expression of thoughts; for, in order to draw a limit to thinking we should have to be able to think both sides of this limit (we should therefore have to be able to think what cannot be thought). The limit can, therefore, only be drawn in language and what lies on the other side of the limit will be simply nonsense.
Carl Schmitt Political Romanticism
Every romantic avoid teh definitive choice. He wants to keep all possibilities open, and he changes his point of view from day to day because he is fascinated only by the new. p.65
Max Weber Politics as a Vocation
However, in asking for the ‘legitimations’ of this obedience, one meets with these three ‘pure’ types: ‘traditional,’ ‘charismatic,’ and ‘legal.’ These conceptions of legitimacy and their inner justifications are of very great significance for the structure of domination.
