Facing Tragedies
The essays in this volume grew out of the reflections and discussions conducted during the second international conference "Impulses from Salzburg" from May 6 to 9, 2008, on "Facing Tragedies". In accordance with the aims of this project, participants were asked to reflect not simply on the nature and meaning of tragedy but also on ways in which those who are the victims of tragedy make sense of, or cope with, their condition. It was recognised that abstract reflection is important in this regard, but also that such reflection must be rooted in ordinary, everyday. experience, and thus the conference had as one of its aims the attempt to ensure that philosophical reflection not lose the moorings it needs in the reality of ordinary life.
The Normative Foundations of European Competition Law
Does competitive process constitute an autonomous societal value or is it a means for achieving more meritorious goals: welfare, growth, integration, and innovation? The hypothesis of The Normative Foundations of European Competition Law is that the former is the case. This insightful book analyses the phenomenon of competition from philosophical, legal and economic perspectives demonstrating exactly why competitive process should not be viewed only as an instrument. It consolidates various normative theories of freedom, market and competition, and explains how exactly they can be operationalized effectively in the matrix of the EU competition policy.
Tolerance and Modern Liberalism
Modern liberal societies are submerged in conflict and disagreement. People disagree about almost everything—not only about matters of justice, but also about issues that are more private. They disagree on how to interpret freedom and equality; they disagree and even experience conflict with issues regarding the use of a veil, or children wearing crucifixes in public spaces; they also enter into conflict and disagreement regarding issues such as homosexuality, extramarital sex, drugs, euthanasia, abortion, suicide, and experimentation on animals. All these issues can be understood as moral problems, but we also have disagreements concerning other topics that are unrelated to moral issues. ...
Groups, Rules and Legal Practice
Ever since Hart ́s The Concept of Law, legal philosophers agree that the practice of law-applying officials is a fundamental aspect of law. Yet there is a huge disagreement on the nature of this practice. Is it a conventional practice? Is it like the practice that takes place, more generally, when there is a social rule in a group? Does it share the nature of collective intentional action? The book explores the main responses to these questions, and claims that they fail on two main counts: current theories do not explain officials ́ beliefs that they are under a duty qua members of an institution, and they do not explain officials ́ disagreement about the content of these institutional duties. Based on a particular theory of collective action, the author elaborates then an account of certain institutions, and claims that the practice is an institutional practice of sorts. This would explain officials ́ beliefs in institutional duties, and officials ́ disagreement about those duties. The book should be of interest to legal philosophers, but also to those concerned with group and social action theories and, more generally, with the nature of institutions.
The Temporal Dimension of Justice
Should historical injustices always be repaired? Upon scrutinising public institutions and present holdings, it becomes evident that many are partially the result of past injustices. Consequently, the imperative to rectify and repair historical injustices emerges. However, as circumstances change over time and these changes affect justice, the argument for repairing historical injustices becomes more intricate. The distributive and reparative aspects of justice may be in tension with each other. Possible tensions between these aspects of justice are assessed by discussing the thesis about the supersession of historical injustices. Different facets of the supersession thesis are evaluated in ...
Epistemic Communities at the Boundaries of Law
“As richly described in the various chapters of this book, we see that clinics can act as a window to the functioning of law and the legal system. Clinics allow students and faculty to see how laws and the legal system are functioning for groups of people who otherwise likely would not be a part of the common experience of professors and their students: poor people generally, migrants and refugees, women and children exploited by trafficking, people with disabilities, ethnic minorities, prisoners, and so on. Legal systems the world over tend to give less care and attention to the problems of the poor and other disempowered groups, and such people usually lack access to well-educated legal ...

Ponderação e Proporcionalidade - As condições normativas para a ponderação - Derrotabilidade, conflitos com normas de direitos fundamentais e particularismo jurídico - Vol. I
A ponderação e a proporcionalidade, que porventura consubstanciam os dois conceitos mais relevantes no domínio constitucional, têm sido o objeto das mais variadas e emocionais críticas por parte da comunidade jurídica, não obstante a inevitabilidade do primeiro em certas condições e a positivação do segundo na maioria dos sistemas jurídicos. No presente estudo, após analisar-se as respetivas condições de relevância normativa, formula-se uma teoria geral da ponderação, no âmbito da qual se explora o discurso das razões para a ação. Esclarecidas as relações conceptuais que o conectam à ponderação, é ainda exaurida a estrutura e comportamento do princípio da proporcionalidade, rejeitando-se a existência de um princípio da proibição da insuficiência, e explicitando-se a possibilidade de deferência judicial no quadro da sua aplicação.
Introdução ao Direito I, programa, Conteúdos e Métodos de Ensino
A crescente porosidade das fronteiras económicas, financeiras,políticas e jurídicas tem posto em causa quer a monocentricidadedo direito vestefaliano, quer a dogmática que o tem sustentado. A unidade é posta em causa pela multiplicidade, a hierarquia pelaflexibilidade e a permanência pela rapidez. Neste novo contexto, sóa figura forte de um jurista que seja um verdadeiro gestor de complexidades normativas e valorativas poderá repor a integridade do debilitadodireito que o positivismo nos legou. Como estruturar estejurista? Como deve ele compreender a natureza do empreendimentojurídico?
