Dynamic Approach To Hans Kelsen'S General Theory Of Norms

by Monika Zalewska

~~53,65€~~ 48,29€ 10% OFF

 This timely and compelling book delves into the dynamic interpretation of Hans Kelsen''s General Theory of Norms through the lens of 21st-century jurisprudential debates. Engaging with key contemporary philosophical concepts such as fictionalism in the philosophy of science, explanation and understanding, and supervenience, this book sheds new light on Kelsen''s original ideas. By offering a contemporary interpretation of his later work, it re-examines classic concepts known from the ''Pure Theory of Law'' like the basic norm, the separation of ''is'' and ''ought,'' validity and efficacy, imputation, and the concept of the legal norm. Integrating modern philosophy with Kelsen''s lasting ideas, this book presents a novel theoretical landscape, inviting readers to explore fresh perspectives on Kelsen''s contributions to legal theory and emphasising its enduring relevance.

65,57€ + 10% CARD

 This book considers the seminal debate in jurisprudence between Ronald Dworkin and Stanley Fish. It looks at the exchange between Dworkin and Fish, initiated in the 1980s, and analyses the role the exchange has played in the development of contemporary theories of interpretation, legal reasoning, and the nature of law. The book encompasses 4 key themes of the debate between these authors: legal theory and its critical role, interpretation and critical constraints, pragmatism and interpretive communities, and some general implications of the debate for issues like the nature of legal theory and the possibility of objectivity. The collection brings together prominent legal theorists and one of the protagonists of the debate: Professor Stanley Fish, who concludes the collection with an interview in which he discusses the main topics discussed in the collection.

Law'S Humility - Enlarging The Scope Of Jurisprudential Disagreement

by Triantafyllos Gkouvas

39,34€ + 10% CARD

 This book invites newcomers to analytical legal philosophy to reconsider the terms in which they are accustomed to describing and defending their jurisprudential allegiances. It argues that familiar taxonomic labels such as legal positivism, natural law theory and legal interpretivism are poor guides to the actual diversity of views on the nature and normativity of law, mainly because they fail to carve up the reality of jurisprudential disagreement at its joints. These joints, the author suggests, are elusive because the semantics of law systematically misplaces them. Their true nature resides in the metaontological and metanormative features that dictate or indicate the target of a theory''s jurisprudential commitments. The book advocates a new vocabulary for articulating these commitments without eliminating the use of familiar criteria of division among competing theories of law. The resulting picture is a much broader platform of meaningful disagreement about the nature and grounds of legal truth and legal normativity. Albeit based on a factualist-cognitivist understanding of the sources and grounds of law, the book reserves ample room for the unconvinced. Those suspicious of the project of "ontologising" theoretical disagreements in law can avail themselves of the quietist or anti-metaphysical avenue that the book''s alternative taxonomy also makes available. The humblest path to law''s reality may not be metaphysically ambitious after all.

Rightful Relations With Distant Strangers - Kant, The Eu, And The Wider World

by Aravind Ganesh

45,30€ + 10% CARD

 This book provides a philosophical critique of legal relations between the EU and ''distant strangers'' neither located within, nor citizens of, its Member States. Starting with the EU''s commitment in Articles 3(5) and 21 TEU to advance democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in ''all its relations with the wider world'', Ganesh examines in detail the salient EU and international legal materials and thereafter critiques them in the light of a theory of just global legal relations derived from Kant''s philosophy of right. In so doing, Ganesh departs from comparable Kantian scholarship on the EU by centering the discussion not around the essay Toward Perpetual Peace, but around the Doctrine of Right, Kant''s final and comprehensive statement of his general theory of law. The book thus sheds light on areas of EU law (EU external relations law, standing to bring judicial review), public international law (jurisdiction, global public goods) and human rights (human rights jurisdiction), and also critiques the widespread identification of the EU as a Kantian federation of peace. The thesis on which this book was based was awarded the 2020 René Cassin Thesis Prize (English section).

Nature And Value Of Vagueness In The Law

by Hrafn Asgeirsson

107,33€ + 10% CARD

 Lawmaking is - paradigmatically - a type of speech act: people make law by saying things. It is natural to think, therefore, that the content of the law is determined by what lawmakers communicate. However, what they communicate is sometimes vague and, even when it is clear, the content itself is sometimes vague. This monograph examines the nature and consequences of these two linguistic sources of indeterminacy in the law. The aim is to give plausible answers to three related questions: In virtue of what is the law vague? What might be good about vague law? How should courts resolve cases of vagueness? It argues that vagueness in the law is sometimes a good thing, although its value should not be overestimated. It also proposes a strategy for resolving borderline cases, arguing that textualism and intentionalism - two leading theories of legal interpretation - often complement rather than compete with each other.
