Henning Jensen - Böcker

Jeweils für sich betrachtet sind schon der Wettbewerb der Rechtsordnungen und die europarechtlich induzierte Reform der Leistungen der Daseinsvorsorge geeignete Arbeitsfelder rechtswissenschaftlicher Forschung. In der vorliegenden Studie unternimmt Henning Jensen den Versuch einer Kombination beider Themen. Ausgangspunkt ist die These, dass jeweils beide Themen in neuem Licht erscheinen, bezieht man sie wechselseitig aufeinander. In diesem Sinne konkurrieren verschiedene Vorstellungen der Erbringung gemeinwohlorientierter Leistungen im Europarecht um bestmögliche Geltung. Der europarechtliche Normenbestand, der auf die kommunale Daseinsvorsorge einwirkt, wird aus der Perspektive des Wettbewerbs der Rechtsordnungen betrachtet. Henning Jensen zeigt, dass beide Diskurse von der Frage geprägt sind, wie und in welchem Umfang Staat und Markt dazu geeignet und bestimmt sind, Gemeinwohl zu erzeugen.

Although the works of Francis Hutcheson are unfamiliar to most students of philosophy, it cannot be said that he has been entirely ignored. To be sure, most of the recent writers who deal with Hutcheson's philosophy do so in the course of writing about Hutcheson's famous contemporary, David Hume. This is true, for example, of Norman Kemp Smith, whose book entitled The Philosophy of David Hume 1 includes much detailed information concerning Hume's indebtedness to Hutcheson. But others have written about Hutcheson on his own account. William R. Scott's Francis Hutcheson,2 although mainly biographical and historical, is well worth reading. In his article "Some Reflections on Moral-Sense Theories in Ethics," 3 C. D. Broad presents a sustained analysis of the sort of theory held by Hutcheson. D. Daiches Raphael's The Moral Sense 4 is competent, interesting, and especially valuable in its treatment of epistemological issues surrounding the moral sense theory. William K. Frankena's article entitled "Hutcheson's Moral Sense Theory" Ji is search­ ing and profound. And, most recent of all, a book by William T. Black­ stone has appeared entitled Francis Hutcheson and Contemporary Ethi­ cal Theory. 6 One of the difficulties encountered in presenting a study of Hutcheson is that all of his books are extremely rare.
