Ernst-Wolfgang Boeckenfoerde (1930-2019) was one of Europe's
foremost legal scholars and political thinkers. As a scholar of
constitutional law and a judge on Germany's Federal Constitutional
Court (1983-1996), Boeckenfoerde was a major contributor to
contemporary debates in legal and political theory, to the
conceptual framework of the modern state and its presuppositions,
and to contested political issues such as the constitutional status
of the state of emergency, citizenship rights, bioethical politics,
and the challenges of European integration. His writings have
shaped not only academic but also wider public debates from the
1950s to the present, to an extent that few European scholars can
match. As a federal constitutional judge and holder of a trusted
public office, Boeckenfoerde has influenced the way academics and
citizens think about law and politics. During his tenure on the
Court, several path-breaking decisions for the Federal Republic of
Germany were handed down, including decisions on the deployment of
missiles, the law on political parties, the regulation of abortion,
and the process of European integration. This second volume in the
first representative edition in English of Boeckenfoerde's writings
brings together his essays on religion, law, and democracy. The
volume is organized in five sections: I. the Catholic Church and
Political Order; II. State and Secularity; III. the Theology of Law
and its Relation to Political Theory; IV. Norms and the Principle
of Human Dignity; and V. Excerpts from a biographical interview.
Sections I, II, III, and IV are preceded by an editors'
introduction to the articles as well as running editorial
commentary to the work.
