Recht als institutionalisierte Vernunft?

Zu Robert Alexys diskurstheoretischer Konzeption des Rechts

 

Abstract: If institutionalizing reason means creating a form of correctness that lies between facticity and ideality, as Robert Alexy claims, then institutionalized reason would be law.  A perfect creation would be correct law (richtiges Recht).  The instrument offered in AlexyŐs legal theory for institutionalizing reason is his discourse theory of law.  In detail, he offers a discourse-theoretic conception that combines deliberative procedures of practical reason with the procedures manifest in the decision-making bodies of the legal system.  Thus, he presents a discourse-theoretic conception of law.  The essay conducts an enquiry into this conception, focusing on problems concerning the conception itself as well as problems concerning its discourse-theoretic framework.  As a result, it is claimed that AlexyŐs conception of law is in need of a relativistic turn.
