Zusammenfassung
Der Band untersucht das Recht im Spannungsfeld von Objektivität und Macht: Ist Recht ein Instrument der Macht oder im Gegenteil in der Lage, Macht aufgrund seines objektiven Charakters einzugrenzen? Dieser Frage wird im Rahmen eines internationalen sowie inter- und intradisziplinären Ansatzes nachgegangen.Eine Besonderheit des Buches besteht dabei darin, das zentrale Problem nicht nur aus einer theoretischen Perspektive zu beleuchten, sondern auch praktische, am positiven Recht orientierte Beiträge aufzunehmen. Damit folgt das Buch der in seiner Einleitung skizzierten Idee eines an der Verfassung orientierten Pragmatismus (Constitutional Pragmatism): Jede Position im Streit um die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Objektivität im Recht bringt normative Implikationen mit sich, sodass die verfassungsrechtlichen und die über die Verfassung legitimierten einfachrechtlichen Vorgaben, die normalerweise über Wertungskonflikte entscheiden, auch bei der Lösung dieser epistemologischen Frage zu beachten sind.
