Alexander Somek Biography

Alexander Somek is one of the most popular and richest Legal Scholar who was born on April 7, 1961 in Vienna, Vienna, Austria. Alexander Somek (born in Vienna, 7 April 1961) is an Austrian legal scholar.

More recently, in the course of relocating from the United States back to Vienna in 2015, he has begun to elaborate his theory of the legal relation. Viewed from a certain angle, his work inherits from the legal positivism of the Vienna School of Law Theory the idea that a theory of law ought to restrict its subject to an utmost minimum of normative idealization. At the same time, however, Somek sharply distinguishes his project from Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law.

His work in this area grew – in particular with regard to the critique of the reification of the meaning of norms – into an approach to legal theory that he and his colleague Nikolaus Forgo later presented as “post-positivist legal theory”.

After moving in 2003 to the United States, Somek became increasingly interested in how the self-understandings of human beings are affected by modern capitalism and how this gives rise to the potential demise of political citizenship. He tried to account for the relevant development on the basis of a reconstruction of various alternative forms of collective self- determination. This, at any rate was one of the foci of his work on the authority of the European Union and the emergence of a more cosmopolitan type of constitution, where he tried to identify apolitical forms of self- determination that reflect the spirit and the pathologies of modern individualism.

He is currently professor of legal philosophy in the Faculty of Law, University of Vienna. Prior to the present appointment, he held the Charles E. Floete Chair in the College of Law, University of Iowa, and he has held visiting professorships at Princeton University and at the London School of Economics. He was a Law and Public Affairs fellow at Princeton in the academic year 2012-3 and a fellow in the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin during 2007-8. Somek, who spent nearly 14 years in the US, was born and raised in Vienna.
