Summary

At a time when legislation is becoming increasingly hectic in response to individual cases and losing sight of the legal system as a whole, in which its so-called ‘basic subjects’ are often referred to in soapbox speeches but are becoming increasingly marginalised in university education, addressing exactly these fundamental issues is especially important. This is the quintessential task of the philosophy of law, which is just as much a sub-discipline of practical philosophy as it is of jurisprudence. In this sense, the journal ‘Rechtsphilosophie–Zeitschrift für Grundlagen der Rechts’ provides a forum for interdisciplinary exchange on the theoretical, methodological and political foundations of the law.

Four times a year
The RphZ is published quarterly, with each issue containing around 100 pages and mostly dedicated to a special topic.

This special issue revisits the Marxian and Pashukanian critique of the legal form, addressing persistent misconceptions in both legal practice and critical scholarship. Far from being a mere attack on liberal jurisprudence, materialist legal...

This article revisits the contested relationship between private and public law in Pashukanis. It argues that the nature of the private-public law distinction can only be grasped through a dialectical reconstruction. Accordingly, it reinterprets...

“Constituent” power is usually interpreted as an unconstituted and unconstrained force. This understanding leads to a paradox and rests on an inadequate theory of law. The constituent character of this power is better understood as referring to...
