Popis: Constitutionalist discourse has undergone a fundamental transformation at the beginning of the 21st century. New, major constitutional topics have been introduced, inspired by constitutional pluralism and constitutionalism beyond the nation-state. The systemic challenges to modern liberal constitutionalism have prompted a new understanding not only of the constitution, but also of constitutional law as a university subject. The crisis of key parameters of constitutional democracy commands a thorough re-examination of both the cognitive and performative dimensions of teaching constitutional law. For that reason, this paper seeks answers to the question what and how to teach in the epoch of postmodern constitutionalism. The paper advocates the viewpoint that the professor should not only describe phenomena, but also explain the essence of the problem: for example, the republican argument of classical constitutionalism’s irrelevance, or the difference between normality and pathology of constitutional systems in the context of democratic transition, or indeed the trans-nationalization of the constitution and the postmodern paradigm of constitution-building without constituent power. The need for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, including co-teaching is demonstrated through the topics of monistic and pluralistic federalism, and constitutional guaranties of individual and/or collective rights. The paper concludes that teaching of constitutional law should be guided by global doubt, as the hermeneutics of truth and ethico-political consideration.
