• The volume examines law in the tension field between objectivity and power: is law an instrument of the powerful or – on the contrary – an objective reality that limits power? The book deals with this question through an international, interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary approach. In doing so, it does not only take a theoretical perspective. Instead, it integrates insights from practical, doctrinal contributions as well. In that way, the book follows the idea of Constitutional Pragmatism, sketched out in its introductory chapter: each position in the epistemological dispute about the possibilities and limits of objectivity within the law entails normative implications; thus, the constitutional and doctrinal statements that normally settle normative disputes have to be taken into account when talking about epistemological issues as well.
