Legality and Proportionality in the Performance of Law: Introduction

Abstract

The fourth volume of Undecidabilities and Law is dedicated to the relationship between legality and proportionality in the context of practical performance (or realization) of law. To explain this thematic core, attention be paid primarily to its two crucial dimensions – legality and proportionality –,
both relevant for academic considerations in the field of the conflicting demands of political philosophy and legal philosophy, but also important for practical-normative dogmatic approaches, as well as for the process of interpreting the law in practice by law-enforcing Authorities.
