Research priorities

Jochen Bung's academic work focuses on the fundamentals of criminal law, in particular questions of subjective attribution. The focus here is on approaches from analytical philosophy, in particular considerations by Donald Davidson , but also Elizabeth Anscombe and Georg Henrik von Wright . Bung defends the traditional formula of the resolution to be irreducibly volitive in all its forms, i.e. to contain the component of willing in addition to the knowledge component.

Another focus of research is the reconstructing reinterpretation of classical political science texts, such as Thomas Hobbes ' Leviathan , Rousseau's Contrat Social or Hegel's Basics of the Philosophy of Law , which usually deviate from conventional readings . For example, Bung interprets Hegel's theory - even against his own attempts at delimitation - as a “continuation of the theory of the social contract”.
