A sociological theory of law

"Niklas Luhmann is recognised as a major social theorist, and his treatise on the sociology of law is a classic text. For Luhmann, law provides the framework of the state, lawyers are the main human resourced for the state, and legal theory provides the most suitable base from which to theorize on the nature of society. He explores the concept of law in the light of a general theory of social systems, showing the important part law plays in resolving fundamental problems a society may face. He then goes on to discuss in detail how modern 'positive' -- as opposed to 'natural' -- law comes to fulfil this function. The work as a whole is not only a contribution to legal sociology, but a major work in social theory. With a revised translation, and a new introduction by Martin Albrow. "--

  • "Original of "Sociological theory of law.""
  • "Alles menschliche Zusammenleben wird direkt oder indirekt durch Recht geprägt. Ähnlich wie Wissen ist Recht ein nicht wegzudenkender, alles durchdringender gesellschaftlicher Tatbestand. Kein Lebensbereich - weder die Familie noch die Religionsgemeinschaft, weder die wissenschaftliche Forschung noch die innerparteiliche Pflege politischer Einflußlinien - findet ohne Recht zu einer dauerhaften sozialen Ordnung. Immer steht soziales Zusammenleben schon unter normativen Regeln, die andere Möglichkeiten ausschließen und mit ausreichendem Erfolg verbindlich zu sein beanspru chen. Dabei mag der Grad rechtsatzmäßiger Formuliertheit und verhaltens bestimmender Effektivität von Bereich zu Bereich variieren, ein Mindest bestand an Rechtsorientierung ist überall unerläßlich. Um so mehr erstaunt, daß diese Tatsache des Rechts Soziologen wenig beschäftigt. Kaum, daß in den Vorlesungsverzeichnissen der Universitäten auftaucht, und wenn, dann wird die Aufgabe eher von Juristen als von Soziologen wahrgenommen. Ein Zusammenhang dieses Fachs mit der neueren soziologischen Theorieentwicklung fehlt völlig. Eher bestehen Verbindungen zur rechtswissenschaftlichen Grundlagendiskussion. Empirische Forschungen auf dem Gebiete der Rechtssoziologie lassen sich noch an den Fingern abzählen, wenngleich das Interesse in den letzten Jahren zunimmt. Im Vergleich mit anderen Bereichen soziologischer For schung - etwa Familiensoziologie, Organisationssoziologie, politischer So ziologie, Schichtung und Mobilität, Rollentheorie - liegt die Rechtssoziolo gie weit zurück. Man kann sich fragen, ob es überhaupt eine soziologische Rechtssoziologie gibt. Rechtssoziologie könne, so hatte HERMANN KANTO ROWICZ den auf dem ersten deutschen Soziologentag versammelten Sozio logen entgegengehalten, nur von Juristen im Nebenamt fruchtbar betrieben 1 werden."
