Yesterday, we came to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Aber heute kann man fragen, ob nun vielleicht doch noch "Theorie der Gesellschaft oder Sozialtechnologie – Was leistet die Systemforschung?" von 1971 ins Englische übersetzt werden darf?

This is Kelsen, or at least a 1945 translation (Wedberg) of General Theory of Law and State, p. 19. Finnis is quoting as part of a critique. Kelsen went on to say there are indeed commonalities.

Working back from Tierney and Oakley; give ground on genealogy of subjective rights, hold line on voluntarism and nominalism. Motivated reasoning! See how it goes

Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses.

Don’t know of a major or standard treatment. The Kochin article in fn 5 of this review of Owen Bradley’s book follows the Straussian hermeneutic for sure, was published in Polis modernagejournal.com/the-true-jos...

"New German Cinema" stuff like Fassbinder, early Herzog and Wenders. A lot of it is on you tube with (sometimes dodgy) subtitles. Watching Fassbinder's Welt am Draht too many times helped me a lot, particularly for comprehension

These books are great, I found you can mix up attentive listening and having it on in the background sometimes too. I also swear by 1970s German movies. Somehow the dialogue is easier to follow around A2 level and if you get something you like multiple viewings works wonders

Hard agree. Languages have their own rhythms and modulations etc. so even if you don’t understand the content something significant is lost. So it’s not even that irrational IMO

Sandra Leonie Field’s work is worth a look and prob suited to the level. Recent articles build on Field’s analyses of power in Hobbes and Spinoza (see Potentia, OUP, 2020)

My latest piece in Global Constitutionalism. While it contributes to a somewhat niche debate, it might interest you if you are keen on the debates on the Basic Structure Doctrine or the Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments Doctrine. Open Access Link: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Over the next week or so, we will be hosting a beautiful series inspired by Emilios Christodoulodis' immense work The Redress of Law, it will think about Simone Weil and how we can think with her to approach critical legal studies afresh criticallegalthinking.com/2025/01/13/f...
