Behavioral law hat sich von punktuellen Hinterfragungen innerhalb der ökonomischen Analyse zum Fundament einer Annahmenlehre für die gesamte Rechtswissenschaft entwickelt. Damit Theorie und Praxis rechtlicher Steuerung an den Wissensbestand anknüpfen können, muss man empirisches Schrifttum für juristische Zwecke erschließen. Doch auch das Recht selbst ist aus dem Blickwinkel des Denkens und Handelns von Individuen neu zu befragen. Dabei gibt es weit mehr zu entdecken als seine Konzepte vom psychischen Realbereich: Am Ende geht es um das Funktionieren einer aus menschlichen Urteilen und Entscheidungen zusammengesetzten staatlichen Praxis. Der Band widmet sich diesen Aufgaben exemplarisch für die Kernfächer des öffentlichen Rechts als "allgemeinen Teil" der rechtlichen Verhaltenssteuerung in Deutschland. Er arbeitet systematisch den Theorienkanon der verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Analyse auf, erschließt Verbindungen innerhalb des Rechtsstoffs und fragt nach neuen Möglichkeiten dogmatischer Konstruktion und Strukturierung.

This book introduces the first systematic approach to the debate on the unity or fragmentation of practical reasoning and its profound implications for legal philosophy. Bringing together some of the foremost legal philosophers from the Hispanic-Latin world, the book presents a thoughtful dialogue with the Anglo-American literature, making it of interest to scholars from both cultural traditions. Although the topic is rarely discussed explicitly and systematically, it is pivotal to ongoing debates about legal normativity, the nature of law, legal authority, and the rationale behind legal decisions. This book fills this gap by providing a comprehensive perspective that illuminates the intersections between the philosophy of law and the philosophy of practical reasoning. It analyses law from the perspective of the agent and offers deep insights into critical issues in the field of law.The volume is divided into four parts. The 1st part addresses the question of the nature of reasons and the unity of practical and theoretical reasoning. The 2nd part deals with the question of whether practical reasoning works in a unified or fragmented way. The 3rd section examines the autonomy of legal normativity in relation to morality and other normative domains. In the 4th and concluding section, the authors analyse the implications of the thesis of the unity of practical reason for legal decision-making and the authority of law.

Die Debattenkultur in den Volksvertretungen hat sich verändert. Wie haben die Sitzungsleitungen mit Beleidigungen, Hatespeech und Demonstrationen im Plenarsaal umzugehen? Wie weit reicht der Schutz der parlamentarischen Redefreiheit in Europa? Mit dieser Problematik befasst sich Thomas Johannes Kemper rechtsvergleichend im Hinblick auf den Deutschen Bundestag, die französische Nationalversammlung und das Europäische Parlament. Er kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Redefreiheit nicht nur im freien und repräsentativen Mandat, sondern auch im Grundrecht der Meinungsfreiheit im Sinne des Art. 10 EMRK verortet ist. Er definiert den Anwendungsbereich der persönlichen Ehre, der Aufrechterhaltung der Ordnung sowie der parlamentarischen Funktionsfähigkeit und der Würde des Parlaments als Schranken dieses Rechts und entwickelt Kriterien zur Überprüfung der Verhältnismäßigkeit von Disziplinarmaßnahmen der Sitzungsleitung.
