Law

(2,371 words)

Author(s): Herbert Kalb
From the standpoint of modern legal theory, the concept of a legal order depends on three conditions: it must be understood as a prescriptive system, as a system that has to be consciously created and amended, and as a system distinct from other prescriptive requirements, such as moral or ethical rules. A naive backward projection of such "ready-to-hand principles" drawn from current law leads to anachronisms that render an adequate understanding of "medieval law" largely impossible. A number of current academic controversies, relating to such themes as "guten, alten Rechts" (F. Kern), the validity problem, the typology of the body of legal sources, and the concept of law itself, are contingent upon a variety of "instrumentalizations." In order, however, to pursue any meaningful discourse at all with respect of the history of law, it is impossible to avoid a degree of anticipation from the vantage point of present-day legal conceptualizations. If openly entered into, such an orientation on modern conceptual criteria of law does not lead to unconsidered anachronisms and a focusing of present-day motifs onto the Middle …
