Der grandiose Auftakt der romantischen Götterfantasy

Reign of Gods – Verflucht

Examines whether the rule of law can endure without its natural law and metaphysical foundations, arguing for a renewed, human-centered legal order grounded in objective moral principles and capable of addressing contemporary challenges such as AI, technocracy, and decolonization.
This provocative interdisciplinary volume addresses a mounting global crisis: the erosion of the rule of law in an increasingly secular and technological world. As societies move into what the authors call the "fourth era" of legal history, the rule of law is frequently reduced to a mere "toolkit" for elites or a "checklist" for bureaucratic efficiency, stripped of its deeper moral and transcendent roots. The book explores a vital question: can legal systems remain just when they are "truncated of transcendence" and disconnected from a higher moral order? By sifting through the legacies of legal giants like Lon Fuller and theologians like Karl Barth, the contributors argue that a purely procedural "inner morality" is insufficient to protect human dignity against authoritarian relapses or the cold logic of "technocratisation." 
Central to the book's unique vision is a multivalent, pluralistic re-envisioning of global norms. Drawing on the Christian philosophy of Herman Dooyeweerd, specifically his concept of "sphere sovereignty," the authors propose a framework where diverse religious and secular traditions can collaborate without sacrificing their distinct identities. This approach offers a powerful way to decolonize the rule of law, moving away from "one-size-fits-all" Western impositions toward a culturally sensitive synthesis of universal principles and local traditions. 
The text also tackles the controversial relationship between Natural Law and the 10 Commandments, debating whether positive laws should be grounded in "naturally knowable" truths or specific religious revelations in a pluralistic state. 
Looking toward the future, the authors issue a stark warning against the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in legal adjudication. They argue that replacing human value judgments with machine-driven algorithms threatens to eliminate the discretion and relational interaction essential to true justice. To counter this, the book calls for educational reform and a shift toward "principled legal education" that prioritizes ethics, restorative justice, and a "facts first" approach. Ultimately, this work is a call to action for legal professionals, theologians, and the public to reclaim law as a framework for human flourishing-a "language of love" between the divine and the human that protects the vulnerable from the arbitrary exercise of power.

This book explores the thorny normative issues raised by the changing landscape of international tax policy. Proposals for taxation of the digital economy and the OECD/G20 BEPS framework promise fundamental changes in the international tax system. The book features perspectives from legal scholars, political theorists, and political philosophers on international corporate and individual taxation. Contributors advance new theories of international tax justice, develop theoretically informed reform proposals and critique influential approaches to international tax reform. Key themes include justice in bilateral and multilateral international tax agreements, the taxation of cross-border workers, fair division of tax revenue from multinational corporations, and the fairness of the international tax policy-making process. This book provides new perspectives on leading international tax policy debates, analyses the intersection between international distributive justice and contemporary tax policy, and proposes innovative ways to meet the demands of tax justice in a global context.

Fairness in International Taxation

A provocative look at America's compulsion to consume and our obsession's surprising--and strange--origins. In a capitalist society, people sell their labor to purchase staples like food, shelter, and anxiety medication. That's the equation of everyday economic life that we've always been told is true. Except, is it really that simple anymore? No matter how unmaterialistic you may think you are, odds are that deep within is a drive to consume because it feels good: books you won't read, clothes you won't like and might wear even less, a replacement phone whose novelty runs out as quickly as its upgrade hits the market. But what drives this impulse? In Growth Machines, Mark Joseph Stelzner shows how today's consumers are now programmed by a US economy intent on infinite growth to work for goods they've been convinced they need and conditioned to want. Stelzner establishes the gaps between economic thinking and economic reality, arguing that consumption is no longer just a reflection of needs, but rather, it reflects a need for transaction--in many cases, a treat we seek out because it feels good. We work not only to be able to consume the essentials for living, but also to consume for consumption's sake. Yet such consumption doesn't make us happier. Stelzner traces this strange nature of consumption to an environmental source: an economy that demands growth. To keep its economy pumping, the US must keep Americans consuming. This makes Stelzner's book an uncomfortable reflection on how we internalize our economy. To be an American is to consume; to consume is what makes America.

A transformative guide to experiencing the fullness of God's promises through the power of minimalism, from the bestselling author of The More of Less and The Minimalist Home Rooted in the teachings of Jesus, Uncluttered Faith argues that true spiritual fulfilment and abundant life are found not in accumulation but in simplicity and generosity. Weaving together personal stories, biblical teachings and practical advice, Becker shows how worldly treasures can hinder your relationship with God and your potential in His Kingdom. He shares his journey towards minimalism, a path he began nearly two decades ago that has since revealed numerous spiritual promises, emphasising that Jesus's teaching to give away possessions is not about deprivation, but rather the formula to experience purpose, passion, fulfilment and meaning, in this life. Uncluttered Faith is more than a guide for your personal growth; it casts a bold vision for the Church to collectively embrace minimalism and reach its full potential, ultimately leading to a life that is not only personally fulfilling but also impactful for eternity.

Studies in Penal Theory and Ethics

This book explores the connections between punishment theory and punishment practice It shines a much-needed light on the relation between how punishment is experienced by those subjected to it (and others), and the more general consideration of what justifies punishment in the first place. Leading experts in the field weigh up what is appropriate punishment - both in quantitative and in non-quantitative ways. It explains why punishment is so difficult to justify, looks at the compatibility of modes and processes of penal sanctions, and explore how best to achieve the aspiration to set reasonable terms for future coexistence through state punishment. The book addresses key topics such as life imprisonment, what is at stake when we use prisons to punish, and how criminal offenders can be successfully integrated into society. It considers how we know whether we over-punish offenders, what we should do in response to excessive punishment, and the possibility of replacing punitive systems with non-punitive ones. Overall, the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the philosophy of punishment, explicitly connecting general, abstract questions about the moral and political justification of punishment with empirical insight into the realities and experiences of punishment practices.
