Selbstverteidigung und Selbstbestimmung gegen moralischen Nihilismus im Kontext des Strafrechts

Self-Defense and Self-Determination Against Moral Nihilism in the Context of Criminal Law --- The article concerns the question in what sense does comparative criminal law research confirm the idea that inflation of repressive laws promotes overcriminalization and does not promote trust in the possibility of mutual moral improvement between actors. We will also see to what extent the right to self-defense is recognized in its various forms. Trust in the laws is ensured by the fact that the will to power guarantees the right to self-defense. This is guaranteed by the right to avoid self-accusation. Guilt is not simply a consequence of accusation, coming from society, or of self-incrimination. Guilt does not look in the direction of the past, in the direction of retributive purposes. Rather, it has a prospect of the future, of mutual correction of character and behavior. This calls moral nihilism into question.
