The experience of normative authority in the world of being. Philosophical foundations of theories of positive law in 19th century Germany.

本研究项目考察了认识论对19世纪德国实证法理论起源的影响，以及由此产生的法律推理方法的后果。研究项目的起点是后康德唯心主义中的现实理论，它改变了人文和社会科学中感性感知与理性之间的关系：伊曼纽尔·康德将这两个经验知识的组成部分分开，而约翰·戈特利布·费希特将它们结合在一个先验的世界创造理论中，因此经验领域可以被视为绝对的，因此是权威的整体。该研究项目将回答这样一个问题，即作为理性整体的现实感知是否以及如何形成19世纪实证法理论的基础，这些理论借鉴了实证法的认识论权威，并导致了法律推理对规范性经验的限制。

This research project examines the influence of epistemology on the origin of theories of positive law in 19th century Germany as well as the consequences arising therefrom for the method of legal reasoning. Starting point of the research project is the theory of reality in post-Kantian idealism that transforms the relationship between sensual perception and reason with regard to the humanities and the social sciences: While Immanuel Kant seperates these two components of empirical knowledge, Johann Gottlieb Fichte combines them in a theory of a priori world creation, so that the realm of experience can be regarded as an absolute and therefore authoritative totality. The research project will answer the question, if and how the perception of reality as a rational totality forms the foundation of 19th century theories of positive Law that draw from the epistemic authority of positive law and result in the restriction of legal reasoning to the experience of normativity.
