Abstract
This article mainly discusses the ideas of Schmitt and Foucault and their impact on society. Schmitt and Foucault are both famous thinkers, and their own ideas are very famous. Exploring the differences between the political thoughts of Schmitt and Foucault would be beneficial for scholars to understand their ideas and better know the reasons for the differences. Schmitt used to be a Nazi, and his ideas were sometimes misunderstood. But this does not affect his and Foucault's ideas, which have led to many changes and progress in society. The first part discusses their respective introductions and their thoughts. The second part describes their differences, including differences in views of sovereign roles, the relationship between power and knowledge, different social backgrounds and Political ideologies, and changes to society. The third part is a discussion about their ideas. The final section analyzes the conclusions of these individuals, their views on rights, and concludes which side is better.
