As it has been developed over a period of many decades, administrative law has acquired its own morality. An understanding of the morality of administrative law puts contemporary criticisms of the ...administrative state in their most plausible light. Reflected in a wide array of seemingly disparate doctrines, but not yet recognized as such, the morality of administrative law includes a set of identifiable principles, often said to reflect the central ingredients of the rule of law. Closely related to what Professor Lon Fuller described as the internal morality of law, the resulting doctrines do not deserve an unambiguous celebration, because many of them have an ambiguous legal source; because from the welfarist point of view, it is not clear if they are always good ideas; and because it is not clear that judges should enforce them.
Matthew Stone asks what unites apparently disparate applications of Levinas' ideas about law and explores the ethical challenge of law's relationship with 'the Other'. Ultimately, he is sceptical ...that Levinasian ethics can be invested in legal institutions and instead proposes that it should be embodied in the perpetual critique of law.
Qu’est-ce que le positivisme? Le positivisme juridique en est-il une déclinaison? Sinon, quels rapports celui-ci entretient-il avec celui-là? Du reste, faut-il parler « du » ou « des » positivismes ...juridiques? Quels sont les enjeux politiques de l’adoption de la position positiviste ou d’une position positiviste donnée par le juriste? En se focalisant sur le xxe siècle où la pensée juridique a pour ainsi dire éclaté, ce livre ambitionne de répondre à ces questions par la thèse selon laquelle il n’a pas existé un, mais plusieurs positivismes juridiques, certains concevant le droit comme un fait, d’autres comme une norme; certains adoptant une position explicative ou descriptive, d’autres une position normative. Leur examen sera l’occasion d’une évaluation des tentatives d’étude du droit comme fait ainsi que d’une interrogation sur le rapport du droit à l’État. Se poseront alors la question du pluralisme juridique et de sa relation avec l’idéal de l’État de droit et celle de l’intérêt d’adopter une nouvelle grille de lecture de l’histoire de la philosophie du droit.

Hermann Cohen (1842–1918) was a leading figure in the Neo-Kantian philosophical movement that dominated European thought before 1918. He is also the inaugural figure for what is meant by modern ...Jewish philosophy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book explores Cohen’s striking claim that ethics is rooted in law – a claim developed in both his philosophical ethics and his philosophy of Judaism, in particular in his writings on love-of-neighbor, up to and including his well-known Religion of Reason.
Dana Hollander proposes that neither Cohen’s systematic philosophy nor his Jewish philosophy should be seen as the dominant framework for his oeuvre as a whole, but that his understanding of key philosophical questions takes shape in the passages between both corpuses, a trait that could be seen as paradigmatic for modern Jewish philosophy. Ethics Out of Law taps into one of the prime topics of current interest in the field of Jewish philosophy: the nature of Jewish political existence and the changing configurations of law that this entails.
What does it mean to be responsible for our actions? In this brief and elegant study, Giorgio Agamben traces our most profound moral intuitions back to their roots in the sphere of law and ...punishment. Moral accountability, human free agency, and even the very concept of cause and effect all find their origin in the language of the trial, which Western philosophy and theology both transform into the paradigm for all of human life. In his search for a way out of this destructive paradigm, Agamben not only draws on minority opinions within the Western tradition but engages at length with Buddhist texts and concepts for the first time. In sum, Karman deepens and rearticulates some of Agamben's core insights while breaking significant new ground.
Much of what we could do, we shouldn’t—and we don’t. Mark Osiel shows that common morality—expressed as shame, outrage, and stigma—is society’s first line of defense against transgressions. Social ...norms can be indefensible, but when they complement the law, they can save us from an alternative that is far worse: a repressive legal regime.
Die christlichen Kirchen sind in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland nach dem staatlichen öffentlichen Dienst die größten Arbeitgeber. Dies betrifft insbesondere das Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen. Nach der ...Gründung der Bundesrepublik haben die Kirchen ein eigenes individuelles und kollektives Arbeitsrecht aufgebaut, das in wichtigen Punkten vom staatlichen Recht abweicht. In der Weimarer Republik hatten die staatlichen Arbeitsgesetze hingegen auch für sie gegolten. Seit den 1950er Jahren stützen sie die Sonderbestimmungen ihres eigenen Arbeitsrechts darauf, dass ihre Beschäftigten sich in einer „Dienstgemeinschaft“ befinden. Dieser Begriff entstammt der Rechtsordnung des NS-Staats. Der Aufsatz geht auf derzeitige rechtliche Kontroversen ein und kritisiert, dass die Kirchen sich zu extensiv auf ihr korporatives Selbstbestimmungsrecht berufen. Zurzeit betonen sie den religiösen Charakter der von ihnen getragenen Einrichtungen des Gesundheits- und Sozialwesens zum Teil noch stärker als zuvor. Für die Zukunft zeichnet sich die Notwendigkeit gesetzlicher Eingrenzungen ab.
The Christian churches are the largest employers in the Federal Republic of Germany after the state civil service. This applies especially to the health and social services. After the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, the churches established their own individual and collective labor law, which deviates from state law in important points. In the Weimar Republic, however, the state labor laws had also applied to them. Since the 1950s, they have based the special provisions of their own labor law on the fact that their employees are in a „community of service“. This term originates in the legal system of the Nazi state. The essay addresses current legal controversies and criticizes the fact that the churches invoke their right to corporate selfdetermination too extensively. At present, they emphasize the religious character of the health and social services they provide, in some cases even stronger than before. The need for legal restrictions is becoming apparent for the future.
