Jhering's Concept of Rechtsgefühl and Its Role in the Struggle For
TRANSFORMACJE PRAWA PRYWATNEGO 4/2017 ISSN 1641–1609 JOSEFA BIRR* Jhering’s concept OF RECHTSGEFÜHL AND ITS ROLE IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LAW “It is the energy of our moral nature protesting against the violation of the law; it is the most beautiful and the highest testimony which Rechtsgefühl can bear to itself […]”. With these words, Rudolf von Jhering captured the attention of his audience at his Vienna lecture of The Struggle for Law in 872. The following paper is divided into three parts. I begin with a review of Jher- ing’s concept of Rechtsgefühl2. I then go on to look at its particular meaning in The Struggle for Law. Finally, I show how the function of Rechtsgefühl in The Struggle for Law fits into Jhering’s overall concept ofR echtsgefühl. In the late 9th and early 20th centuries, German jurisprudence was concerned with the phenomenology of Rechtsgefühl. This concept is enigmatic. Its range of meaning extends from an inner psychological disposition, or something that is given a priori, to an educated feeling for legal right, similar to legal intuition. Re- lated terms and frequently used synonyms such as Rechtsbewusstsein, Rechtsemp- finden, Gewissen and Sittlichkeit make a clear definition difficult. Rechtsgefühl is widely translated as “the feeling of the legal right” or “sense of justice”. The concept of “legal sentiment” comes closest. Still, in my opinion, none of these is quite accurate. Thus, in the following I use the term Rechtsgefühl. * Dipl.-Jur., Göttingen. R. von Jhering: The Struggle for Law (1872), translated from the fifth German edition by J.J. -

The First Step Remarks on the Juristic Origin of Some Weberian Concepts
From law to social science and back again - the first step Remarks on the juristic origin of some Weberian concepts Péter Cserne I. Introduction In the last decades, "Weber Studies"1 has grown to a genuine big industry of the academia. The number of books, monographs and dissertations written on or explicitly related to Weber's person and/or work increases by hundreds every year. This applies to almost every discipline in the social sciences and humanities, and characterises not only the German and English speaking world but Spain, Italy and Japan too. The approaches present in these works are diverse as well, ranging from the bio-bibliographical to the reconstructive and the analytic.2 If one is not completely sceptical about the (material) rationality of the work in social sciences, he has to acknowledge that this enduring interest is, at least to a certain extent, due to the inherent values of Weber's work – even if the quality of the interpretations is rather fluctuating.3 In what follows I shall expose the question of the legal origin of certain Weberian categories and ideas, and make some remarks in general on the possible effects of Weber being a jurist on his sociological work. This problematic, yet not fully appreciated in the secondary literature on Weber, can be considered as a small step or episode in the history of ideas (Ideengeschichte). But with two further steps we can arrive to a new perspective on Weber's oeuvre showing, to put it in a metaphor, a "way from law to social science and back again". -

A New Look at Max Weber and His Anglo-German Family Connections1

Review Essay How Well Do We Know Max Weber After All? A New Look at Max Weber and His Anglo-German Family Connections1 Lutz Kaelber2 Guenther Roth’s study places Max Weber in an intricate network of ties among members of his lineage. This paper presents core findings of Roth’s analysis of Weber’s family relations, discusses the validity of Roth’s core theses and some of the implications of his analysis for Weber as a person and scholar, and addresses how Roth’s book may influence future approaches to Weber’s sociology. KEY WORDS: Max Weber; history of sociology; classical sociology; German history; Guenther Roth. “How well do we know Max Weber?”—When the late Friedrich H. Tenbruck (1975) raised this question almost thirty years ago, he had Weber’s scholarship in mind. The analysis of Weber’s oeuvre and the debate over it, fueled by a steady trickle of contributions of the Max Weber Gesamtaus- gabe, has not abated since. Thanks to the Gesamtausgabe’s superbly edited volumes, we now know more about Weber the scholar than ever before, even though the edition’s combination of exorbitant pricing and limitation to German-language editions has slowed its international reception. Tenbruck’s question might be applied to Weber’s biography as well. Here, too, the Gesamtausgabe, particularly with the edition of his personal letters, has been a valuable tool for research.1 Yet the fact remains that what we know about Weber the person derives to a significant extent from 1Review essay of Guenther Roth, Max Webers deutsch-englische Familiengeschichte, 1800–1950. -

Chapter 9 “Die Rechtssätze in ihrem systematischen Zusammenhang zu erkennen” – The Thrust of Legal Formalism 9.1 A Genealogy of Legal Concepts by Georg Friedrich Puchta The Historical School of Law, founded by Friedrich Carl von Savigny (1779–1861) at the early nineteenth century, underscored the historical essence and roots of law. It highlighted the role of the Volksgeist, i.e. the historically evolving “spirit of the nation” on the evolvement of the law. The Volksgeist of a nation found its paramount expression in the customary law and, in the more sophisticated legal systems, in the legal conceptions and doctrinal constructions created by the legal profession (Juristenrecht, Professorenrecht). Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the historicist notion of law became transformed into full-fledged con- ceptualist jurisprudence in Germany. A hierarchical system of legal concepts, as created by the legal science so as to deal with the legal issues, was placed at the centre of legal analysis. Among the German conceptualists there were Georg Friedrich Puchta (1798–1846), Bernhard Windscheid (1817–1892), and the young Rudolf von Jhering (1818–1892), who later turned into a vehement opponent and critic of legal formalism under the Interessenjurisprudence, or jurisprudence based on the analysis of social interests in law.1 It was Philipp Heck, himself a pro- ponent of the Interessenjurisprudenz, who introduced the openly pejorative term Begriffsjurisprudenz for the German conceptualists.2 According to the Begriffsjurisprudenz, there is an immutable logico-conceptual element in law “frozen’ in the legal concepts and their mutual systemic relations. Even earlier, the historical school of law had found the immutable element of law in the community-centred legal concepts, like the spirit of the nation (Volksgeist) and the “organically” evolving legal consciousness of its people. -
251 Chapter IX Revolution And
251 Chapter IX Revolution and Law (1789 – 1856) The Collapse of the European States System The French Revolution of 1789 did not initialise the process leading to the collapse of the European states system but accelerated it. In the course of the revolution, demands became articulate that the ruled were not to be classed as subjects to rulers but ought to be recognised as citizens of states and members of nations and that, more fundamentally, the continuity of states was not a value in its own right but ought to be measured in terms of their usefulness for the making and the welfare of nations. The transformations of groups of subjects into nations of citizens took off in the political theory of the 1760s. Whereas Justus Lipsius and Thomas Hobbes1 had described the “state of nature” as a condition of human existence that might occur close to or even within their present time, during the later eighteenth century, theorists of politics and international relations started to position that condition further back in the past, thereby assuming that a long period of time had elapsed between the end of the “state of nature” and the making of states and societies, at least in some parts of the world. Moreover, these theorists regularly fused the theory of the hypothetical contract for the establishment of government, which had been assumed since the fourteenth century, with the theory of the social contract, which had only rarely been postulated before.2 In the view of later eighteenth-century theorists, the combination of both types of contract was to establish the nation as a society of citizens.3 Supporters of this novel theory of the combined government and social contract not merely considered human beings as capable of moving out from the “state of nature” into states, but also gave to humans the discretional mandate to first form their own nations as what came to be termed “civil societies”, before states could come into existence.4 Within states perceived in accordance with these theoretical suppositions, nationals remained bearers of sovereignty. -

EUR 84.00 As a book, as a research project, and as an academic achievement, this work is quite extraordinary. Roth has tracked Max Webers genealo- gy back at least three generations and he has used every available archival source to reconstruct the various family histories. The book is based on primary sources throughout its length, which is, indeed, the reason for its own great length. The correspondence these families left behind is simply vast. The Baumgarten family, whose Hermann was Webers uncle, left an archive of 3,500 letters, and this is only a fraction of the documents utilized by Roth. To reconstruct a family narrative, the historian has to construct the letters as a correspon- dence. Sisters, who are the main correspondents, write to each other, they write to husbands, parents, and grandparents, and some of these letters are passed around the family with each reader perhaps adding their own comments.
