Law's Moral Indifference
We usually pay far less attention to what the law actually tells us than to the possible consequences of our disobeying it. Yet, if we try to take it at face value, we discover that the law expects us to comply not out of fear of the harmful consequences of disobedience, but because it is the law that tells us to do this or that – that, at least, seems to be the law's claim. Whence does this authority over our lives derive, and why should we take the fact that it is the law that tells us to do something as a reason to do it? Legal positivism, by far the most influential theoretical doctrine on what the law is, insists that our being under a legal obligation cannot in any way entail that we...

Anglo-American Empiricism and the Abhorrence of Essence
Is there really a fundamental difference between a rational, often ontologically loaded research method, that characterizes Continental philosophy, and an Anglo-American research method based on empiricism, that strongly abhors essence and an ontological foundation of reality? How is empiricism, and its abhorrence of essence, interrelated with technoscientific development, scientism and technocracy, politics, economics, utilitarianism and pragmatism, climate change, way of life and an education with an almost allergic aversion to any concept of essence in human life? How and under which presuppositions can philosophy really contribute to the understanding of the essence of happiness and its ...

Legisprudence
This book establishes legisprudence, in contrast to jurisprudence, as a legal theory of rational law-making. It suggests that by rejecting the common wisdom about the nature of political law-making, legislation could be improved and streamlined. Using the methods, theoretical insights and tools of current legal theory and philosophy of law in a new way, the book suggests the creation of law by legislators rather than government. Raising new questions and problems of the validity of norms, the book opens a new perspective on legitimacy of norms, their meaning and the structure of the legal system. In distinguishing legitimacy and legitimation of law, the book ventures into the philosophical roots of legal theory and suggests the articulation of a new conception of sovereignty. In shifting the emphasis to the position of the legislator and legislation, this book opens a number of new insights into the relationship between legislative problems and legal theory. Its main claim is that legislation should be justified by the legislator.
