A Plea for Moderate Optimization: On the Structure of Principles as Interpersonal Reasons
Original language description
The Theory of Principles (Prinzipientheore), which underpins the account of proportionality, has been vilified for embodying a teleological account of constitutional rights which fails to accommodate their core function as deontological constraints. In this paper I will make a modest effort to overcome the dichotomy between teleology and deontology, at least within the scope of the proportionality debate. The paper points out that a relaxation of the tension between agent-neutral and agent-relative reasons can contribute to a better understanding of the claim that legal principles are optimisation requirements. The claim should simply be understood as stating that constitutional principles are formulations of the same abstract ideal of mutual recognition among persons, which can generate consistency amongst actions produced by plural agents. A notable conclusion is that proportionality is better understood in terms of determination of abstract normative reasons (principles) than in terms of balancing between disparate or conflicting standards.
