The volume intends to serve as a student book for the legal education in the area of the basic discipline ‘theory of law’. For this purpose it contributes to the recent fundamental jurisprudential debate, which more extensively than the traditional theory of law refers to the communicative and media prerequisites of the law. In the first part the fundamental problems and basic concepts of theory of law are discussed. The focus is laid on the theory of rules or norms, formation of systems in law as well as questions concerning the application of law. In the second part, the discussion of the communication- and media theoretical approaches presented in the introduction is given more prominence. It is illustrated, on the one hand, that the law is reliant on communication and communication media. On the other hand, under the concept of ‘evolution theory’ the history of development of law is addressed in a communication and media theoretical manner. The following issues are addressed: Theory of law as name and program Legal principle, legal rule, use of rules Law and legal system Effectiveness and validity of the law Application and implementation of the law Media of law Evolution of law Writing, letterpress, mass media Internet as the paradigm of a ‘new legal culture’ Zum Werk Das englischsprachige Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studierende der Rechtswissenschaft und solcher Disziplinen, in denen Recht auf unterschiedliche Weise Thema der jeweiligen Fachkulturen ist, wie zum Beispiel in Philosophie, Soziologie, Ökonomie, Politik-, Literatur- oder Medienwissenschaft. Es wird ein Überblick über die Themen Rechtsnormen, Rechtssystem, Rechtsgeltung, Rechtsgewalt, Rechtsinterpretation und Rechtsgeschichte geboten. Dabei wird ein kulturwissenschaftlicher und medientheoretischer Ansatz erprobt, wie er sich in unterschiedlichsten Fachrichtungen als neue Möglichkeit des (interdisziplinären) Denkens durchgesetzt hat. Vorteile auf einen Blick - Vermittlung von Grundlagenwissen - Einbeziehung aktueller (rechts-)theoretischer Debatten - knappe präzise, englischsprachige Darstellungen Zielgruppe Für Studierende der Rechtswissenschaften und der Rechtsphilosophie, Referendare. -- Provided by publisher This new textbook offers an important new guide to legal theory in its contemporary context. It reflects recent jurisprudential debates on what the theory of law should look like in a legal landscape where media and communication play an increasingly central role. Firstly, it offers a guide to the fundamental principles and basic concepts of the theory of law. In so doing, it lays the foundations of the legal theory; the formation of legal systems; and the application of laws. In the second part, these basic theoretical principles are explored through the prism of the contemporary context, with particular emphasis on the impact of communication
