Abstract
According to modern social theory political science belongs to secular domains of social sciences, it is scientific and it immunes from theology. However, in political theory and political philosophy this view is outmoded and one sided today. In this paper I will examine the transformation of modern political theory after German political philosopher Carl Schmitt’s understanding of modern political theory as “political theology”. With this aim, I will evaulate theologico-political leitmotives of modernity and modern political theory such as reason and revelation distinction in philosophy, immanentize the Christian Eschaton, millenarianism (belief that an ideal world will be achieved in the near future), worldly or immanent salvation and particular attention is paid to political messianism and religiosity after secularism.
