The majority of views in political and legal philosophy regard the law merely as a useful instrument, employed to render our lives more secure and to enable us to engage in cooperate activities more efficiently. The view developed here defends a non-instrumentalist alternative of why the law matters. It identifies the law as a constitutive feature of our identities as citizens of modern states. The constitutivist argument rests on the (Kantian) assumption that a person's practical identity (its normative self-conception as an agent) is the result of its actions. The law co-constitutes these identities because it maintains the external conditions that are necessary for the actions performed under its authority. Modern legal institutions provide these external prerequisites for achieving a high degree of individual self-constitution and freedom. Only public principles can establish our status as individuals who pursue their life plans and actions as a matter of right and not because others contingently happen to let us do so. The book thereby provides resources for a reply to anarchist challenges to the necessity of legal ordering. 410 0$aPractical philosophy ;$vBd. 16. 606 $aCitizenship 606 $aEffectiveness and validity of law 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 610 $aIdentity. 610 $aLegality. 610 $aModern State. 615 0$aCitizenship. 615 0$aEffectiveness and validity of law. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 676 $a340/.1 700 $aHanisch$b Christoph$01554110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787649603321 996 $aWhy the law matters to you$93815147 997 $aUNINA
