Research

The members of the Vienna Legal Philosophy Department are particularly interested in studying the normative import of momentous historical transformations that are currently under way. They concern, for example, the relation of law and religion, law and culture, the spread of legal pluralism, changes of gender roles and sexuality, or the relation towards other sentient creatures, the internationalization and globalization of constitutionalism, and seismic shifts in the international system.
