Zur Dialektik von Entlegitimierung und Relegitimierung der Legalität bei Schmitt und Kervégan}, year = {2021}, note = {In his contribution, Klaus Günther deals with Schmitt’s distinction between legality and legitimacy. According to Günther, Kervégan’s decontextualization of the distinction first requires a recontextualization. Thus, he shows to what extent it is underlaid, even interwoven, with another distinction, namely with the distinction between pays réel and pays légal. It has been coined by the political opposition against the principles of 1789 and determines the conceptual framing of law, democracy and human rights until today. Above all, it obfuscates their interrelationships and blocks an adequate conception of legitimacy by legality.}, journal = {RphZ Rechtsphilosophie}, pages = {141--157}, author = {Günther, Klaus}, volume = {7}, number = {2} }
