a critical edition of Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde’s complete jurisprudential works, translated and annotated with an in-depth commentary. The work examines the historical and analytical sources underpinning Böckenförde’s legal philosophy, tracks the development of the theme of human dignity in his writings, positioning Böckenförde’s legacy as a German Catholic social democrat within Western—and particularly American—jurisprudence, along with providing a legal dictionary that expounds on German legal terms for anglophone contexts.
