Conceptual Jurisprudence
Methodological Issues, Classical Questions and New ApproachesThis book brings together leading legal theorists to present original philosophical work on the concept of law – the central question of jurisprudence. It covers five broad topics: firstly it addresses debates concerning the methodology of jurisprudence. In Part II it focuses on the notion of a legal system and its coercive nature, while Part III explores the relationships between law and morality, the traditional point of contention between positivist and non-positivist theories of law. Part IV then examines questions regarding law’s normative character and relationships with practical reason. Lastly, the final part introduces two novel theoretical approaches to conceptual jurisprudence. ISBN: 9783030788025, 3030788024
