Law, State, Freedom / Recht, Staat, Freiheit
Studies on Legal Philosophy, Theory of the State and Constitutional History
At the centre of this classic collection of essays are pivotal questions of state order, as they can be seen in the existing, historically conditioned connection between freedom and law or freedom and the state. Böckenförde explains that law is not only a necessary condition of freedom, but at the same time presupposes the state as a unit of power and decision-making and holder of the monopoly on the legitimate use of force.
