It argues that modern German tort law is faced with doctrinal tensions based on problematic theoretical assumptions which stem from historical conceptions of tortious liability, inappropriate to modern times. From a theoretical perspective, it argues against the prevalent doctrinal view in Germany that conceives of tortious liability as split between two tracks - a fault-basedtrack and a strict liability track - each with different normative foundations UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198705055.001.0001 ER -
