This article analyzes some of the theoretical commitments of Spanish 19th-Century conservatism, whose deep roots in Catholic theological thought (Donoso Cortés and Jaime Balmes) and connections with authoritarianism allowed the 20th Century to again concern itself with its works –visibly in the reinterpretation realized by Carl Schmitt, which fuels the reconstruction of the theory of dictatorship. This article also contributes to analyze how close the interpretation of Schmittian conservatism might be to the Balmesian one, since it is well-known that the former was a very good reader of Donoso’s work.
