The theme arises from the legal-academic movement "Law and Literature". This newly developed field should aim at two major goals, first, to investigate the meaning of law in a social context by questioning how the characters appearing in literary works understand and behave themselves to the law (law in literature), and second, to find out a theoretical solution of the methodological question whether and to what extent the legal text can be interpreted objectively in comparison with the question how literary works should be interpreted (law as literature). The subject of justice and injustice has been covered not only in treatises of law and philosophy, but also in many works of literature: On the one hand, poets and writers have been outraged at the social conditions of their time. On the other hand, some of them have also contributed fundamental reflections on the idea of justice itself.

The contributed volume explores the evolving landscape of law and justice through interdisciplinary perspectives. Leading scholars from Europe, East Asia, and Latin America offer a cross-disciplinary, comparative, and historicist examination of socio-legal principles. Their contributions provide profound insights into the philosophical foundations of justice, human dignity, and the evolving challenges of law in modern society. With perspectives spanning philosophical-anthropological inquiry, constitutional interpretation, legal historicism, and AI’s implications for justice, this volume invites readers to engage in the most pressing discussions shaping the future of law and legal philosophy today.Der Sammelband widmet sich der dynamischen Entwicklung von Recht und Gerechtigkeit aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. Renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus Europa, Ostasien und Lateinamerika analysieren rechtlich-soziale Prinzipien in vergleichender, historisierender und fachübergreifender Weise. Die Beiträge eröffnen tiefgreifende Einblicke in die philosophischen Grundlagen von Gerechtigkeit und Menschenwürde sowie in die aktuellen Herausforderungen, denen sich das Recht in einer sich wandelnden Gesellschaft gegenübersieht. Die Spannweite der Perspektiven reicht von philosophisch-anthropologischen Fragestellungen über verfassungsrechtliche Hermeneutik und rechtsgeschichtliche Ansätze bis hin zu den Implikationen künstlicher Intelligenz für das Verständnis von Gerechtigkeit. Der Band lädt zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den zentralen Diskursen ein, die die Zukunft der Rechtswissenschaft und Rechtsphilosophie maßgeblich prägen.
