Taylor & Francis Ltd Sentencing
Book SynopsisEvery modern state sentences convicted offenders for their crimes. But what justifies the imprisonment of democratic citizens and how do we determine the severity of sentences? Does the theory of punishment closely connect with its practice? Should we support one purpose for sentencing or multiple purposes? Or should we reject sentencing in favour of alternatives to imprisonment? This volume brings together classic journal articles on sentencing selected from the work of leading, international figures in the field to address these controversial issues. Sentencing is examined from various critical perspectives, including the relation of theory and practice, the Model Penal Code and development of sentencing guidelines, the link between sentencing and emotions, punitive restoration, and sentencing alternatives such as restorative justice.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Legal Theory and Legal History
Book SynopsisWhat can legal theorists learn from legal historians? What guidance can historians take from theorists? What theoretical questions underlie legal historical investigations? These are the questions explored and answered by the articles selected in this volume. Taken together, these papers show that the future of historical jurisprudence is a bright one. This is a jurisprudence that can yield insights about how to conceptualise legal change, how to give voice to those operating outside of legal officialdom, and how to understand the relationship between law and politics. The papers selected range from the challenge to legal positivism from the perspective of the history of the common law, to the latest methodological debates in socio-historical jurisprudence. The volume contains a substantive introduction and a detailed bibliography.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Legal Theory and the Natural Sciences
Book SynopsisThe relationship between law and science has developed apace over the last three decades. This collection brings together the most important and influential papers theorising that relationship, including papers that seek to protect law's autonomy against the perceived unwelcome inroads of science, and those that seek to shape and change law by incorporating the latest scientific developments. The papers span historical overviews of the attempts by legal scholars to model legal science on scientific methodology, to efforts by legal philosophers scrutinising the claims made on behalf of genetics and neuroscience as to their implications for law and legal concepts.

Book SynopsisThe papers selected for this volume offer a panorama of problems and methods at the intersection of legal theory and the humanities.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Habitual Ethics?
Book SynopsisThis open access book explores the conditions under which habit – and pre-reflective agency – can remain at the service of our ethical lives. What if data-intensive technologies’ ability to mould habits with unprecedented precision is also capable of triggering some mass disability of profound consequences? What if we become incapable of modifying the deeply-rooted habits that stem from our increased technological dependence? On an impoverished understanding of habit, the above questions are easily shrugged off. Habits are deemed rigid by definition: ‘as long as our deliberative selves remain capable of steering the design of data-intensive technologies, we’ll be fine’. To question this assumption, this book first articulates the way in which the habitual stretches all the way from unconscious tics to purposive, intentionally acquired habits. It also highlights the extent to which our habit-reliant, pre-reflective intelligence normally supports our deliberative selves. It is when habit rigidification sets in that this complementarity breaks down. The book moves from a philosophical inquiry into the ‘double edge’ of habit — its empowering and compromising sides — to consideration of individual and collective strategies to keep habits at the service of our ethical life. Allowing the norms that structure our forms of life to be cotton-wooled in abstract reasoning is but one of the factors that can compromise ongoing social and moral transformations. Systems designed to simplify our practical reasoning can also make us ‘sheep-like’. Drawing a parallel between the moral risk inherent in both legal and algorithmic systems, the book concludes with concrete interventions designed to revive the scope for normative experimentation. It will appeal to any reader concerned with our retaining an ability to trigger change within the practices that shape our ethical sensibility.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Unspeakable Subjects: Feminist Essays in Legal
Book SynopsisNicola Lacey's book presents a feminist critique of law based on an analysis of the ways in which the very structure or method of modern law is gendered. All of the essays in the book therefore engage at some level with the question of whether there are things of a general nature to be said about what might be called the sex or gender of law. Ranging across fields including criminal law,public law and anti-discrimination law, the essays examine the conceptual framework of modern legal practices: the legal conception of the subject as an individual; the concepts of equality, freedom, justice and rights; and the legal construction of public and private realms and of the relations between individual, state and community. They also reflect upon the deployment of law as a means of furthering feminist ethical and political values. At a more general level, the essays contemplate the relationship between feminist and other critical approaches to legal theory; the relationship between the ideas underlying feminist legal theory and those informing contemporary developments in social and political theory; and the nature of the relationship between feminist legal theories and feminist legal politics. The essays in this book tell the story of an intellectual journey which has led the author to question some of the central assumptions of traditional legal education and scholarship. They also set out a distinctive vision of jurisprudence as a form of critical social theory.Trade ReviewThis collection of essays brings together work of a leading figure within feminist legal thought and provides an excellent example of the particular contribution of feminism to analysis of the legal system. The essays engage with, respond to and develop a variety of feminist perspectives upon law and demonstrate the enormous, challenging and exciting task ahead for feminist legal theorists. Jo Bridgeman Modern Law Review September 2002 Lacey exemplifies the best characteristics of British academic writing, namely, a sincere attempt to convey complex positions and arguments as clearly as possible and an uncompromising honesty about her own work which means that her critical gaze is as much directed at her own views as at others.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Hans Kelsen: Biographie eines
Book SynopsisDie vorliegende Biographie widmet sich dem bewegten Leben Hans Kelsens, des wohl bedeutendsten Rechtsphilosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. In seinem Lebensweg, der ihn von Prag und Wien über Köln, Genf und andere Stationen bis nach Berkeley in Kalifornien führte, spiegeln sich die letzten Jahre der Habsburgermonarchie, die beiden Weltkriege, Aufstieg und Niedergang der Demokratie in der Zwischenkriegszeit, die Gründung der UNO und vieles mehr wider. Der überzeugte Befürworter einer parlamentarischen Demokratie wurde "Architekt" des noch heute in Österreich geltenden Bundes-Verfassungsgesetzes von 1920. Mit der von ihm entwickelten Reinen Rechtslehre, die u.a. die theoretische Grundlage für die moderne Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit lieferte, hat er weltweit Beachtung gefunden; seine Werke wurden in mehr als 30 Sprachen übersetzt."Dabei stellt Olechowski explizit nicht das Werk, sondern die Person Kelsens und dessen Lebensweg in den Mittelpunkt. […] Thomas Olechowski hat diesen Weg in erschöpfender Gründlichkeit bis in den letzten Winkel ausgeleuchtet. Sein Buch, reife Frucht von anderthalb Jahrzehnten intensiver Arbeit, ist ein Meilenstein der Kelsen-Literatur." Horst Dreier FAZ 21.08.2020, 10"Ein großer Wurf ist Olechowskis Buch deshalb, weil es die Wegmarken von Kelsens Lebenslauf meisterlich mit seiner Denkbiographie verbindet. [...] Während die Ideen seiner Widersacher längst vergilbt sind, ist Kelsens Werk frisch und lebendig […]" Franz Leander Fillafer Die Presse 26. September 2020, Beilage "Spectrum", V"Olechowskis Arbeit leistet die notwendige Voraussetzung für einen 'historical turn' auch in der Kelsen-Forschung. […] Das Buch richtet sich auch an alle, die sich für die ehemalige Wiener Kultur und deren Fortsetzung im Exil interessieren. Infolge dieser Biographie wird […] Kelsen wohl auch jenseits seines Faches Beachtung erfahren - etwa in den Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften."

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Lehren vom Verwaltungsrechtsverhältnis
Book SynopsisDas Rechtsverhältnis ist ein Strukturelement der Verwaltungsrechtsordnung, ein Basisbegriff verwaltungsrechtlichen Denkens und ein Grundbaustein der Verwaltungsrechtslehre. Dieser herausragende Stellenwert ist freilich nicht unumstritten. Vielmehr haben allerlei Vorbehalte das Verwaltungsrechtsverhältnis in Fundamentaldebatten verstrickt, die als Richtungsstreit wahrgenommen werden. Hier setzen die Lehren vom Verwaltungsrechtsverhältnis an. Sie entfalten die Rechtsverhältnislehre als dogmatischen Ordnungsrahmen des Verwaltungsrechts. Dabei zeigt sich in vielen Kontexten ein spezifischer Eigen- und Mehrwert des Denkens in Rechtsverhältnissen, der zu Perspektivenerweiterungen und -wechseln anregt. Das betrifft unter anderem die Rechtsquellenlehre, Schlüsselbegriffe wie die subjektiven öffentlichen Rechte, die Handlungsformen der Verwaltung und den Dialog mit der Steuerungswissenschaft.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Zurechnung im Recht: Ein Beitrag zur Entwicklung
Book SynopsisZurechnungsfragen stellen ein zentrales Problem des Rechts dar. Hinter dem uneinheitlich verwendeten Begriff verbergen sich grundlegende philosophische, ethische und juristische Fragen über die Zuordnung von Verantwortung. Alexander Hobusch unternimmt den Versuch, den Begriff einer rechtlichen Zurechnung zu definieren und handhabbar zu machen. Mithilfe einer induktiven Untersuchung von Einzelproblemen aus dem Strafrecht, Zivilrecht und Öffentlichen Recht werden die abstrakten Wertungen hinter dem Phänomen Zurechnung offengelegt, zusammengetragen und systematisiert. Aus diesen entwickelt er danach eine umfassend anwendbare allgemeine Zurechnungstheorie, welche die rechtliche Zuordnung von Verantwortung erklärbar macht. Er erprobt diese an drei umstrittenen Zurechnungsproblemen des Parteienrechts: Für die Reichweite des Parteibegriffs am Beispiel der parteinahen Stiftungen, für die Zurechnung von Anhängerverhalten im Rahmen des Parteiverbots und für die finanzierungsrechtliche Zurechnung von Wahlkampfaktionen Dritter bietet der Autor eine neuartige argumentative und methodische Erschließung an.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Ökonomische Methoden im Recht: Eine Einführung
Book SynopsisÖkonomische Argumente werden auch für Juristen immer wichtiger. Dieses Lehrbuch soll Juristen mit ökonomischen Methoden vertraut machen, um ihnen ein besseres Verständnis dieser Argumente zu geben. Es richtet sich dabei sowohl an Studierende als auch an Wissenschaftler und Praktiker. Für die dritte Auflage wurde das Lehrbuch aktualisiert und punktuell überarbeitet. Die dritte Auflage des Lehrbuchs greift aktuelle Entwicklungen auf und wurde durch interne und externe Verlinkungen konsequent für die digitale Nutzung optimiert. Das eBook ist unmittelbar im Open Access verfügbar. "Da die Verzahnung rechtlicher und ökonomischer Aspekte in den meisten Lehrbüchern in der Regel viel zu kurz kommt [...], schließt es eine bedeutende Lücke in der juristischen und wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Literatur." Studium 2017, Ausgabe 100, 20 "In Europa kursieren immer noch verschiedene Missverständnisse über die Rechtsökonomie, die wohl auch aus mangelnder Kenntnis der Methoden resultieren. Das Buch leistet somit einen Beitrag zur Aufklärung, indem es Grundkenntnisse vermittelt, über die jeder Rechtswissenschaftler verfügen sollte." Martin Gelter RabelsZ 2019, 461-464

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Politeía : Ein Abenteuer mit Platon
Book SynopsisPlatons "Politeía" - meist falsch übersetzt mit "Der Staat" ist eines der zentralen Werke der europäischen Philosophie. Aber wer kennt es schon als Ganzes? Joachim Lege hat deshalb Platons "Politeía" in 40 Kapiteln nacherzählt - teils salopp, teils nachdenklich, stets aber genau (akribõs) und kurzweilig. Mit Seitenhieben auf Damals und Heute. Damit alle, die neugierig und guten Willens sind, Sokrates & Co. auf ihrer Suche nach der Gerechtigkeit begleiten können. In der zweiten Auflage sind einige Ungenauigkeiten korrigiert worden. So heißt es jetzt näher am Original, dass in der Demokratie diejenigen, die sich noch an Regeln halten, gern als "freiwillige Sklaven" (ethelodoúloi) verunglimpft werden.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Fragile Souveränität: Eine Politische Theologie
Book SynopsisLiberale Demokratien sind in die Defensive geraten. Die historisch gewachsenen Ressourcen zur Stabilisierung eines politischen Gemeinwesens sind erschöpft. Ebenso hat die Erwartung abgenommen, dass die christlichen Kirchen hier Impulse setzen können. Welchen Beitrag können also realistischerweise die Kirchen für die in die Krise geratenen liberalen Demokratien noch leisten und welche Bedeutung kann ihnen in der politischen Moderne noch zukommen? Georg Essen vertritt die These, dass Religionen produktiv mitwirken müssen an der Stärkung des Freiheitsbewusstseins der Staatsbürgerinnen und -bürger, von dem Wohl und Wehe der liberalen Demokratie abhängen. Dies hat freilich zur Konsequenz, dass die Christentümer sich in der demokratischen Öffentlichkeit Glaubwürdigkeit nur verschaffen können, wenn sie in ihrer gläubigen, kirchlich vermittelten Praxis Gott als Garanten menschlicher Freiheit verkündigen und bezeugen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Rechtswerdung: Der Produktionsprozess von Normen
Book SynopsisKathrin Strauß unternimmt eine systematische Analyse der originären und derivativen Produktionsprozesse von Recht, indem sie auf Theorieelemente aus der Sprachphilosophie, der Philosophie des Geistes, der Handlungstheorie und der Sozialontologie zurückgreift. Von einem dynamischen Rechtsverständnis ausgehend erweitert sie die Betrachtung des Produktionsprozesses von Recht um eine Perspektive, die das Recht nicht nur als reines Rechtsprodukt, sondern auch als Menschenprodukt erfasst. So ist der Produktionsprozess nicht nur durch die Verfahrens- und Organisationsnormen des Rechts geprägt, sondern auch von intentionalen Eigenleistungen des menschlichen Geistes, die über den Sprechakt in den Rechtsakt gelangen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legt die Autorin auf die Schriften John Searles, dessen sprechakttheoretische Überlegungen sie in ein dynamisches Rechtsverständnis übersetzt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Zivilrechtswissenschaft: Bausteine für eine
Book SynopsisDer Band zielt auf eine systematische Bestandsaufnahme und perspektivische Erweiterung der Privatrechtstheorie einschließlich der methodischen Grundlagen. Die hier versammelten Beiträge verstehen sich als Bausteine zu einer laufenden Debatte. Eine kohärente Gesamtkonzeption einer Privatrechtstheorie wird also bewusst nicht vorgelegt. Vielmehr will der Band anhand zentraler Schwerpunkte, die für eine Theoriebildung erkenntnisleitend sein können, den Versuch unternehmen, die bislang eher selektiv anmutende Diskussion um eine sowohl grundlagenorientierte als auch dogmatische Perspektive zu erweitern.
