Loss Of Protection As Injury In Fact: An Approach To Establishing Standing To Challenge Environmental Planning Decisions, Miles A. Yanick

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

As currently interpreted by the United States Supreme Court, Article III of the Constitution creates a significant hurdle for plaintiff citizen groups seeking standing to challenge environmental planning or management decisions. In particular, plaintiffs have had difficulty in making the required showing of an 'injury in fact" where an agency has not yet approved a site-specific action but has approved only a general plan for an area to govern future site-specific actions. The Supreme Court has not articulated a clear rule for standing to challenge the latter type of agency decision making, and the courts of appeals for the various …

Law And Order, Arthur J. Jacobson

Cardozo Law Review

Every jurisprudence offers a distinctive image of order. Any order-whether of action, logic, or material-describes the ongoing operation of a set of principles or criteria. Principles define an order as the cause of an operation; criteria define it as the effect of other operations. The operation of a set of principles or criteria constituting an order allows observers effectively to distinguish that order from other orders or from no order at all.

An order is static when it is possible for observers to describe operation of the set of principles or criteria constituting the order at a single moment, without …

The Retrieval Of The Democratic Ethos, Richard J. Bernstein

Cardozo Law Review

For over thirty years I have been a sympathetic although critical reader of Habermas. Initially, I was struck by his nuanced insight into the American pragmatic tradition and his appropriation of the radical democratic ethos of the pragmatic movement. I felt then, and still believe, that Habermas has a more profound and subtle understanding of what is best and most enduring in pragmatism-especially in the thought of Peirce, Dewey, and Mead-than many of my American colleagues. I was also attracted to Habermas for other reasons. He is a dialectical thinker who has the courage to buck fashionable trends-who refuses to …

Law And Political Culture, Dick Howard

Cardozo Law Review

A decade ago Habermas announced a project in his The Theory of Communicative Action. Those who slipped into the habit of talking about this project as his Rechtsphilosophie may be surprised by the sobriety of Habermas's choice for the book's title. The foreword to Faktizitat und Geltung rejects any comparison with Hegel's systematic Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts. Habermas contrasts his "methodical-pluralistic" proposals to the idealistic concepts of Geist and Sittlichkeit, which are unable to account for complex modern societies. The apparent modesty of Habermas's claims is underlined by his subtitle, Contributions to a Discourse Theory of …

Replik Auf Beitrage Zu Einem Symposion Der Benjamin N. Cardozo School Of Law, Jürgen Habermas

Cardozo Law Review

Jeder Autor steht in der Schuld seiner Leser; das gilt erst recht ftr einen anspruchsvollen Autor, der eine umfangreiche und komplexe Untersuchung vorlegt und daftir-noch vor der Publikation des Buches in deutscher Sprache an einer amerikanischen Universitat-die kritische Aufmerksamkeit hervorragender Kollegen findet. Aus den sorgfaltigen Kommentaren habe ich grossen Gewinn gezogen. Diese Behauptung wird sich anhand meiner Antwort nachpriifen lassen, mit der ich zugleich meinen Dank abstatten mochte.

Preface, Michel Rosenfeld

Cardozo Law Review

This symposium issue of the Cardozo Law Review which coincides with the English publication of Jurgen Habermas's Between Facts and Norms: Contributions to a Discourse Theory of Law and Democracy, represents the culmination of an extraordinary interdisciplinary and intercontinental intellectual journey. The papers published in this issue were first presented at a conference held at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law on September 20 and 21, 1992, in which Jurgen Habermas and thirty-two scholars from the United States, Germany, and many other countries, representing the fields of law, philosophy, sociology, and political science engaged in two days of …

Liberties And Popular Sovereignty: On Jurgen Habermas’S Reconstruction Of The System Of Rights, Ingeborg Maus

Cardozo Law Review

The justifications Jurgen Habermas gives for a system of rights bring together the central intentions of his theory of law. The chapter of his book which provides these justifications is devoted in part to developing the underlying tension between "facticity and validity" as the basic structure of law taking the extreme and, for that reason, illuminating aspect of the guarantee of liberty through coercion. It also elucidates the motives for reestablishing the centuries-old connection between legal theory and social theory in the context of the most topical social problems. Whereas all subsectors of contemporary society have been juridified on a …

Quod Omnes Tangit: Remarks On Jurgen Habermas’S Legal Theory, Niklas Luhmann

Cardozo Law Review

Quod omnes tangit, omnibus tractari et approbari debet. The Middle Ages found this rule in Roman law. It had to do with the circumstance of a plurality of legal guardians over the same ward. In the typical case, one guardian's approval was legally sufficient authorization in legal transactions. Since every other rule had seriously damaged business dealings, the business partner's confidence had to be protected. On the other hand, this consideration-that one guardian's approval is legally sufficient authorization for an emancipation-could not have led to a fully realized emancipation of a ward. Nor could it have led to the …

Habermas And The Counterfactual Imagination, Michael K. Power

Cardozo Law Review

The epistemological problem of critical theories is easy to state but hard to resolve. On the one hand, if the theories are too descriptive and draw their conceptual resources from the ideas and institutions which currently exist, they lose their critical force. While they may provide elaborate reconstructions of the structure of social practices, they remain internal to these practices, part of a field of knowledge in which, at worst, theory is merely a form of public relations. On the other hand, if they articulate forms of critique that are entirely external to the systems of knowledge and practice that …

Law And Undecidability: A New Vision Of The Proceduralization Of Law, Jacques Lenoble

Cardozo Law Review

As a leading citizen of the Age of Reason, Pierre Simon Laplace liked to remark that there never could have been two Isaac Newtons for there was but a single world to be discovered. Laplace's aphorism neatly captured a fundamental assumption that has underlain the classical unity of science and reason under modernity. Today, in the wake of challenges posed by intellectual developments such as unstable systems and chaotic structures, the classical presupposition of a stable, objective, and physical world that serves as the horizon of scientific knowledge has begun to teeter. New cracks in the grand edifice of modem …

Jurgen Habermas’S Theory Of Legal Discourse, Robert Alexy

Cardozo Law Review

Jurgen Habermas's discourse theory of law attempts to show that the ideal contents of the discourse principle can be realized within the institutional frame of a legal system. The result is a theory of the democratic constitutional state whose basic idea is the association and self-determination of free and equal consociates under the law. This theory is far more than a mere application of discourse theory to the law. Discourse theory, on the one hand, demands the institutionalization of a legal system for reasons internal to the theory. On the other hand, the positive law remains dependent on discourse theory …

Jurisprudence And Validity, David M. Rasmussen

Cardozo Law Review

The relationship between law and philosophy and their respective discourses has never been harmonious. Just as Plato wanted to throw the poets out of his Republic on the basis of their tendency to corrupt, the law as a discipline has not been overwhelmed by those whose Platonic fervor would purify their enterprise and set them straight. The difference between legal procedure and philosophical-political reflection has not been easy to reconcile. Hobbes argued for the virtues of sovereignty against the self-regulating legal discipline that Lord Coke represented as having confidence in the practical orientation of "Juris prudentia," Blackstone tried …

Legitimacy And Diversity: Dialectical Reflections On Analytical Distinctions, Thomas Mccarthy

Cardozo Law Review

Jurgen Habermas's discourse theory of democracy has repeatedly been criticized for placing too much emphasis on consensus and not enough on conflict. He wants, it seems, to defend a discourse-theoretical version of the "general will" as the key to democratic legitimacy, whatever the cost. The costs are usually reckoned in terms of the theory's tenuous relation to the hurly-burly of democratic practice, where disagreement is the rule and unanimity is in short supply. Many of these criticisms miss their target, for they are often based on superficial readings and serious misunderstandings. But enough of them hit the mark to indicate …
