Offener und eingehegter Diskurs.

»Open and Contained Legal Discourse«: Johann Braun describes legal thinking as the interaction of two opposing movements. The interpretation of the law presents itself as a formally contained discourse, in which numerous possible arguments for the purpose of reducing legal complexity are excluded. However, the further the legal horizon is stretched, the more the excluded points of view gain validity again. This interplay of formal and content-related moments is the key to understanding the real structure of legal thinking and arguing.
