Abstract

Abstract Kratochwil's magnificent The Status of Law in World Society's first meditation, a philosophical discursus masquerading as a meditation about meditation, addresses how International Law and International Relations deal so differently with their common concerns. Kratochwil treats these concerns with his usual cogency. Yet, critical links are missing. How do we get from speaking as a normative practice to the status of law in today's world? How does language (even more than law) go from an ‘agency-related notion’ to ‘a pervasive force penetrating all social relations’? The bewitchment of the world through language is ontology's greatest mystery, worthy of endless meditation.

迷惑世界:论“跨学科、无可辩驳基础的认识论理想与实践问题”

克拉托威尔的巨著《法律在世界社会中的地位》是他的第一次冥想，这是一篇伪装成关于冥想的冥想的哲学论述，探讨了国际法和国际关系如何以不同的方式处理它们共同关心的问题。Kratochwil以他一贯的说服力来处理这些问题。然而，关键环节却缺失了。我们如何从作为一种规范实践的演讲发展到法律在当今世界的地位?语言(甚至比法律更重要)是如何从“与代理相关的概念”转变为“渗透所有社会关系的普遍力量”的?语言对世界的蛊惑是本体论最大的奥秘，值得无尽的沉思。

期刊介绍： Editorial board International Theory (IT) is a peer reviewed journal which promotes theoretical scholarship about the positive, legal, and normative aspects of world politics respectively. IT is open to theory of absolutely all varieties and from all disciplines, provided it addresses problems of politics, broadly defined and pertains to the international. IT welcomes scholarship that uses evidence from the real world to advance theoretical arguments. However, IT is intended as a forum where scholars can develop theoretical arguments in depth without an expectation of extensive empirical analysis. IT’s over-arching goal is to promote communication and engagement across theoretical and disciplinary traditions. IT puts a premium on contributors’ ability to reach as broad an audience as possible, both in the questions they engage and in their accessibility to other approaches. This might be done by addressing problems that can only be understood by combining multiple disciplinary discourses, like institutional design, or practical ethics; or by addressing phenomena that have broad ramifications, like civilizing processes in world politics, or the evolution of environmental norms. IT is also open to work that remains within one scholarly tradition, although in that case authors must make clear the horizon of their arguments in relation to other theoretical approaches.
