Abstract

The fifth volume of the series “Recht im Kontext” provides a contextual analysis of human dignity, exploring the concept’s legal and political implications. The book is the outcome of two conferences held at the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin), prompting debate among scholars from various disciplinary and regional backgrounds and creating a discursive space to analyze and reassess the advantages and disadvantages of human dignity in judicial interpretation and academic reflection. As a contextual undertaking, the book takes a genuinely legal perspective and connects current debates in German, European and US legal scholarship with discussions in other disciplines and various parts of the world.

With contributions by Rehan Abeyratne; Marion Albers; Ino Augsberg; Jochen von Bernstorff; Roger Brownsword; Matthildi Chatzipanagiotou; Ingolf Dalferth; David Dyzenhaus; Morag Goodwin; Christoph Goos; Dieter Grimm, Alexandra Kemmerer and Christoph Möllers; Susannah Heschel; Eric Hilgendorf; Tatjana Hörnle; Stefan Huster; Nora Markard; Christopher McCrudden; Russell Miller; Conor O’Mahoney; Stephan Schaede; Alexander Somek; Nils Teifke; Tim Wihl.

Zusammenfassung

Der fünfte Band in der Reihe „Recht im Kontext“ gibt eine kontextbezogene Analyse der Menschenwürde und ihrer rechtlichen und politischen Implikationen. Der Band ist das Ergebnis zweier Konferenzen am Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin), die einen Diskussionsrahmen geschaffen und eine Debatte zwischen Wissenschaftlern aus mehreren Ländern und verschiedenen Disziplinen über das Konzept der Menschenwürde angeregt haben. Die Beiträge in dem Band analysieren und bewerten die Menschenwürdekonzeption in juristischer Hinsicht und in akademischer Reflexion neu.

Als kontextuelles Unterfangen nimmt der Band eine genuin rechtswissenschaftliche Perspektive ein und verbindet aktuelle Debatten der deutschen, europäischen und US-amerikanischen Rechtswissenschaft mit den Diskussionen aus anderen Disziplinen und aus anderen Regionen der Welt.
