Max Weber on Jurisprudence - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas III 348 Jurisprudence/Weber/Habermas: modern law is above all legal law, i.e. jurisprudence and administration are professionalised through the training of judges and specialist civil servants. Legislation is also increasingly tied to formal procedures and thus to expert knowledge. This promotes a systematisation of the laws and a rationalisation of the law according to internal, purely formal standards. This trend can already be observed at law faculties in the late Middle Ages. However, this trend has prevailed to a very different extent in the individual countries. >Organization, >Society. However, this development presupposes the ethical rationalization of worldviews. Just as the moral subject of action can orientate itself according to the principles of a methodical way of life, so the subject of private law may feel entitled to act purely success-oriented within legal limits. Habermas III 349 Norms/Weber: this term is initially missing in the context of legal decisions; it does not result as the application of 'fixed rules'.(1) 1. M.
