Resumo: Decisionism is the structure of Schmitt's political and legal thought. Hence the famous figure of the exception. Hence, too, the central figure of the theistic sovereign. Our objective in this article is to analyze the assumptions of Schmitt's decisionism, showing how such assumptions are incompatible with immanence and, therefore, with democracy. We will then present some central features of a notion of democracy based on immanence, such as the end of the exception and the immanent sovereign. Methodologically, we will read Schmitt's writings in which the notion of decisionism is elaborated, in addition to prominent commentators who deal with the issue.
