Josef Franz Lindner
Theorie der Grundrechtsdogmatik
[A Theory of the Dogmatics of Fundamental Rights.]
Published in German.
The subject of the dogmatics of fundamental rights in Germany has become so complex that it is almost hypertrophic, a situation which many find lamentable. Against this backdrop, Josef Franz Lindner reconstructs the dogmatic structures of the fundamental rights in order to reduce their complexity. The author does this reconstruction on three different levels, beginning on the meta level with a description of the epistemological and methodological principles of the discussion on the dogmatics of fundamental rights. He uses this methodological basis to develop the material theory of fundamental rights in the Basic Law. On a third level, he shows how the material theory of fundamental rights in the Basic Law can be applied as basic standards in everyday life.
