English summary: The interaction between legal scholarship, legal practice and social theory forms a crucial question of interdisciplinary research. The necessity and the limitations of such an interaction were the central subject of the 'foundations of law' panel's proceedings during the 2013 Marburg Congress of the German Association of Comparative Law. To begin with, the practice in the large centers of the USA, Europe and Japan was subjected to a legal comparative examination. In addition to that, exemplary cross-sections, or, accordingly, longitudinal intersections, were taken into consideration - for example, cartel law as an area where there are lively interdisciplinary approaches, or the historical development of financial market instruments. A general division then drew together conclusions from both a German and an international interdisciplinary perspective. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the panel's findings. German description: Das Zusammenspiel von Rechtswissenschaften, Rechtspraxis und Sozialtheorie bildet eine Gretchenfrage interdisziplinarer Forschung. Die Notwendigkeit und die Grenzen einer solchen Interaktion standen auf der Marburger Tagung der Gesellschaft fur Rechtsvergleichung 2013 im Zentrum der Verhandlungen der Grundlagenabteilung. Zunachst wird rechtsvergleichend ein Blick auf die Praxis in den grossen Zentren von den USA uber Europa bis nach Japan geworfen. Hinzu treten exemplarische Quer- bzw. Langsschnitte: zum Kartellrecht als einem Gebiet gelebter Interdisziplinaritat sowie zur historischen Entwicklung von Finanzmarktinstrumenten. Ein Generalreferat zieht aus deutscher und international-interdisziplinarer Perspektive die Summe.
