Grundriss einer verantwortlichen Interpretationstheorie des Rechts Buchkatalog

Legal texts must constantly be read and re-read so as not to rule out certain interpretative points of view. In order for interpreters to be able to disengage from the continuum of invariable interpretation, texts must remain open to permit otherness. Judicial decisions thus constitute the responsible interpretation of the law: the freedom of the interpreter to continuously draw from the texts and their plural meanings is preceded by the responsibility to do just that. This imperative calls upon legal decision-makers to not regard legal texts as shut and sealed by layers of legal dogmatic sediment, but to make their decisions beyond legal schematism. This volume draws up the concept for an interpretative theory of law understood in this way.
