Emil F: Lehrbuch des Katholischen und
Evangelischen Kirchenrechts

Lehrbuch des Katholischen und Evangelischen Kirchenrechts

This book offers a novel jurisprudential account of law by arguing for a conceptual understanding of participation as foundational to a general explanation of law and legitimate authority. In doing so, the book challenges dominant accounts, arguing that the existing failure to separate an explanation of law's authority from the concept of its legitimacy has left a general explanation of law incomplete. From this, the book argues, both general jurisprudence and broader society have suffered. This is especially so for societies that tend to fall outside the Euro-American concern of much mainstream analytical jurisprudence.The historical experience of such societies, however, reveals much of normative and analytical significance. Bringing together normative, historical archival, and case study analysis, the book develops a positive account of law that highlights the importance of participation as a multifaceted process in the continuous historical development of law and legal system in any society. This account, the book argues, is crucial to a more complete explanation of law's authoritative function and normative legitimacy. The book's account of participation, further, foregrounds a broader and more normatively robust understanding of the relationship between a general explanation of law and other philosophically fundamental ideals, namely: freedom, justice, democracy, and deliberation. The book's examinations, which integrate arguments from scholarship in African political philosophy with mainstream arguments in analytical jurisprudence, lead it to new and original answers to longstanding questions in legal philosophy about the nature of law's authority, it's legitimate justification and, the grounds also, for collectively disobeying it.

Hart Studies in Constitutional Theory

This is the second part of a 2-volume set which presents an in-depth investigation into the canon of constitutionally conforming interpretation. This second volume builds upon the insights of the first volume, which includes national reports on the use of constitutional interpretation. In Volume 2, the analysis is extended beyond the national context, discussing its application in the supranational and international contexts, including in EU law and the domestic use of international law. It presents several critical perspectives, challenging the legitimacy of constitutionally conforming interpretation, and looks at the invisible constitution, constitutional amendments, and the impact of legalism. The volume is rounded off by three comparative analyses, which formulate universally applicable insights. Together with Volume 1, this book fills an important gap in legal scholarship and sets the stage for cross-national discourse on this critical legal method.

Critical Race Theory

Originalism Is Racism interrogates America's unhealthy obsession with its founding generation by challenging the ascendancy of originalism as the preferred method of constitutional interpretation--both among the justices of the Supreme Court and for significant portions of the American public. The book argues that interpreting the Constitution in accordance with the original intentions or understandings of the founding generation necessarily enshrines and exacerbates racial inequality. For one, originalism perpetuates white supremacy by rejecting the equal human dignity of Black people and other racialized groups and denying them the opportunity to participate in public life on equal terms. It also undermines the abolition of racial oppression by subjecting Black, Brown, and Indigenous people to increased risks of violence and death. In a word, originalism is racism.

Originalism Is Racism: Volume 2

This book presents a contemporary perspective on legal rights centred on the longstanding will theory-interest theory debate. Starting with classical rights literature, central aspects of the debate in its modern idiom are contextualised within a social theory setting developed from the writings of Max Weber. The book explores the idea that the institutional and coercive character of legal enforcement necessitates viewing legal rights as a locus of social power residing within the 'institutional imagination': that is, in the decision-making of key institutional actors such as judges, prosecutors, police, governmental authorities - and ultimately supreme court judges - who routinely mobilise coercive mechanisms towards the enforcement of legal rights and powers. This marks a departure from the trend of rights literature to view legal rights largely from the standpoint of the right-holder. The book also touches on whether the emerging perspective points towards a 'third way' beyond the traditional two theoretical approaches. A major task of the study is the construction of an archetypal supreme court judge - personifying the 'institutional imagination' - fashioned, via Weberian sociology, from a critique of Ronald Dworkin's 'Herculean' judge and measured against doctrinal exegesis that draws on sources which include UK higher appellate court judgments.

Legal Rights and the Institutional Imagination

Magdeburger Schriften

Am 26. Juni 1524 predigte Martin Luther in der völlig überfüllten Magdeburger Johanniskirche. Sein Auftritt machte die Reformation in der größten Stadt im Osten des Reiches unumkehrbar. Keine andere Stadtreformation außerhalb Wittenbergs hat Luther stärker gefördert. Zugleich beeindruckt die Dynamik der Gemeindereformation von unten, deren Impulse für gesellschaftliche Erneuerung von einer breiten gesellschaftlichen Mitte getragen wurden. Trotz aller Quellenverluste gibt es keinen Zweifel. Lange bevor sich erste Territorialstaaten zur neuen Lehre bekannten, wurde Magdeburg als vitale und streitbare Hochburg der Reformation überregional zum Begriff. 

500 Jahre später nehmen Historikerinnen und Historiker aus fünf europäischen Ländern und den USA diese Anfänge neu in den Blick. Unter der Leitthese "Metropolen als Innovationsräume" vergleichen sie den Modellfall Magdeburg mit ausgewählten Großstädten im Reich und in Westeuropa. Ihre Beiträge verknüpfen bewährte Forschungsergebnisse zur Stadt in der Reformation mit aktuellen Ansätzen der Metropolen- und Hanseforschung. Im Schnittpunkt von Reichs-, Kultur- und Stadtgeschichte machen sie die Dynamik des Umbruchs in verdichteten urbanen Kommunikationsräumen zum Thema.

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book offers an analysis of how the European Court of Human Rights engages with identity and emotion, revealing both the promise and the limitations of human rights law in addressing the complexities of human experience. The book explores how human rights law, often framed as universal and abstract, responds to deeply personal questions of identity, belonging, and emotional impact. Based on a systematic study of over 3,300 judgments, the book shows how the European Court of Human Rights has increasingly made identity central to its reasoning - particularly in cases involving sexuality, ethnicity, and family life. In these areas, the Court acknowledges how state actions shape emotions such as fear, humiliation, and dignity. Yet, in other domains - migration, religion, professional life - the Court avoids emotional engagement, leading to troubling inconsistencies. The book argues that when emotions are excluded from legal reasoning, individuals are reduced to formal entities, stripped of depth and interiority. Combining doctrinal analysis with insights from social theory and psychology, the book presents a new framework for understanding how emotions and identity interact with law. It traces the evolution of identity references across categories and highlights the Court's uneven treatment of emotional harm. This timely and original contribution speaks to legal scholars, practitioners, and theorists interested in human rights, identity politics, and the emotional dimensions of law. It calls for a more responsive and empathetic human rights jurisprudence - one that reflects the lived realities of those it seeks to protect.

A Sentimentalist Analysis of Human Rights

Identity and Emotions at the European Court of Human Rights

This book is the first collection of essays on Bernard Williams' moral and political philosophy to shed light on the nature of law, and key legal concepts. By the time of his death in 2003, Williams was widely regarded as the most important moral philosopher of his generation. Surprisingly, his work is still largely under-discussed in legal theory. This book aims to fill this gap with brand new discussions from scholars both from law and philosophy.The first part of the book focuses on Williams' work on responsibility and regret and its implications for law. Drawing from Ancient Greek authors, Williams maintained that luck might play a key role in our practices of responsibility and that some dimensions of responsibility are tied to the notion of having a character. What we do - intentionally or not - might affect our understanding of ourselves and of our place in the world. How do those ideas help us in making sense of legal responsibility? How broader concerns about our practices of responsibility impact the law? Those are some of the questions addressed by the authors in this part.The second part looks at how Williams' understanding of philosophy can shape the way we do jurisprudence. Williams' work on the methodology of philosophy combines resources from analytical philosophy, continental authors, history, and literature. He understood philosophy as a humanistic discipline. The authors in the second part of the book draw from Williams' work, notably his innovative take on the genealogical method, to discuss how we could practice legal philosophy in this same spirit.

From Agency and Responsibility to Methodology

Bernard Williams on Law and Jurisprudence

This book explores human vulnerability through the lens of natural law theory. Beginning with a detailed examination of natural law ethics, centred upon the virtues (Part One), it sets out the relationship between natural law and human vulnerability. To be human is to be vulnerable; but vulnerability must itself be understood by reference to the human goods that are the central concern of natural law ethics. Such goods lie at the heart of what it means to lead a flourishing life, but they are in no way certain: goods such as health, education, the family can all be perverted or taken away by human agency or the vicissitudes of life. Part Two poses the problem of how human beings and government can build resilience in the face of these vulnerabilities. Its main contention is that the central aims of vulnerability theory, including that of state responsiveness, are pre-figured in the social teachings of the Catholic Church. These teachings provide a compelling basis for the demand that the state be more responsive to social scourges such as poverty, crime, debt and dependency. Vulnerability theorists will benefit from a new perspective on the problems that are central to their analysis; natural law theorists will profit by an enrichment and extension of their central concerns.
