Dekonstruktion und Recht

Derrida’s deconstruction is not a method; it is a ubiquitous working principle. Tracking its iterative momentum within the intellectual currents of legal scholarship paves the way for a novel understanding of the relationships between language and law. The impact of Derrida’s ideas on German-language legal scholarship reveals how fruitful deconstructive thinking can be for the legally trained mind. From general approaches to legal theory to interdisciplinary linkages, the analysis of the relationship between deconstruction and law leads into the illuminating gap between immanence and transcendence.
