Autonomie als Grund und Grenze des Rechts. Das Verhältnis zwischen dem kategorischen Imperativ und dem allgemeinen Rechtsgesetz Kants

Kant’s notion of the universal law of right protects the individual’s general freedom of action. The question is whether this broad law of right is an inevitable consequence of Kantian moral philosophy. Can the idea of general freedom of action be derived from the categorical imperative? Using examples from constitutional court cases, Kalscheuer examines the central problem of the relationship between law and morality in Kant.
