Legal Conventionalism
The concept of convention has been used in different fields and from different perspectives to account for important social phenomena, and the legal sphere is no exception. Rather, reflection on whether the legal phenomenon is based on a convention and, if so, what kind of convention is involved, has become a recurring issue in contemporary legal theory. In this book, some of the foremost specialists in the field make significant contributions to this debate. In the first part, the concept of convention is analysed. The second part reflects on whether the rule of recognition postulated by Hart can be understood as a convention and discusses its potential and limitations in order to explain the institutional and normative character of law. Lastly, the third part critically examines the relations between conventionalism and legal interpretation. Given the content and quality of the contributions, the book is of interest to those wanting to understand the current state of the art in legal conventionalism as well as those wanting to deepen their knowledge about these questions.
Facing Judicial Discretion
In response to ETA's 1997 kidnappings and murders thousands of Spaniards attended mass demonstrations to express their contempt for violence as a means of political pressure. The demand that public authorities prosecute and condemn those who directly or indirectly support ETA and its terrorist attacks was one of the most prevalent slogans in the marches. Indeed, the social response was aimed not only against the terrorist group, but also against Herri Batasuna (HB), the political party that openly endorse ETA's armed actions in the Basque Country. From the legal point of view, it is interesting to examine what it is citizens are requesting from the government in the above-mentioned case. How...
Interpretivism and the Limits of Law
What does it mean to understand the law? This challenging book discusses whether and how understanding the law is qualitatively different from understanding a different, non-legal text or linguistic utterance, and whether knowledge of a language is sufficient to understand legal content in that language.
Jurisdicción y teoría del sistema jurídico
Los trabajos de Juan Ruiz Manero, además de haber ejercido una extraordinaria influencia en la filosofía del Derecho, han permitido replantear problemas usualmente percibidos como complejos y desordenados, logrando una comprensión simple e integrada de los mismos. Sus aportes a la teoría de las normas, de los sistemas jurídicos, del razonamiento jurídico, entre otros, han permitido iniciar y enriquecer innumerables discusiones iusfilosóficas actuales. El presente libro reúne las treinta ponencias presentadas en el Seminario Internacional Jurisdicción y Teoría del Sistema Jurídico, en homenaje al profesor Juan Ruiz Manero, celebrado en marzo del 2022 en la Universidad de Alicante. ...
PROCESSO E LIBERDADE
No curso do último ano de mandato da primeira Diretoria da Associação Brasileira de Direito Processual (ABDPro), um pequeno grupo de processualistas a ela filiados resolveu coordenar uma coletânea de estudos em homenagem ao seu primeiro presidente, Eduardo José da Fonseca Costa, ou, simplesmente, EDUARDO COSTA, como a mim me parece mais emblemático.
Philosophical Foundations of Precedent
Philosophical Foundations of Precedent offers a broad, deep, and diverse range of philosophical investigations of the role of precedent in law, adjudication, and morality. The forty chapters present the work of a large and inclusive group of authors which comprises of well-established leaders in the discipline and new voices in legal philosophy. The magnitude of the resulting project is extraordinary, presenting a diverse array of innovative and creative philosophical investigations of the practice of adhering to past decisions, in law and allied fields of practical reasoning. And by the same token, the contributions elucidate the reasons that courts and other decision-makers may have for departing from what has been done before. The phenomena under investigation include the law and practice of common law and civil jurisdictions around the world. In addition to its fundamental relevance to common law jurisdictions, this work will be of broad and significant interest to theoretically minded audiences in continental Europe, Latin America, and Asia because it involves an extensive study of practices of precedent in civil law systems as well as common law systems.
Law, Violence and Constituent Power
This book challenges traditional theories of constitution-making to advance an alternative view of constitutions as being founded on power which rests on violence. The work argues that rather than the idea of a constitution being the result of political participation and deliberation, all power instead is based on violence. Hence the creation of a constitution is actually an act of coercion, where, through violence, one social group is able to impose itself over others. The book advocates that the presence of violence be used as an assessment of whether genuine constitutional transformation has taken place, and that the legitimacy of a constitutional order should be dependent upon the absence of killing. The book will be essential reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of constitutional law and politics, legal and political theory, and constitutional history.
Amending America's Unwritten Constitution
It is well known that the US Constitution has been amended twenty-seven times since its creation in 1787, but that number does not reflect the true extent of constitutional change in America. Although the Constitution is globally recognized as a written text, it consists also of unwritten rules and principles that are just as important, such as precedents, customs, traditions, norms, presuppositions, and more. These, too, have been amended, but how does that process work? In this book, leading scholars of law, history, philosophy, and political science consider the many theoretical, conceptual, and practical dimensions of what it means to amend America's 'unwritten Constitution': how to change the rules, who may legitimately do it, why leaders may find it politically expedient to enact written instead of unwritten amendments, and whether anything is lost by changing the constitution without a codified constitutional amendment.
Between Democracy and Law
This volume purports to explore the legal and political issues triggered by the new wave of secessionism. More specifically, those issues concern the interplay between notions of democracy (and democratic ends and means) and law (and the rule of law and constitutionalism). Against this background, the editors use amorality in order to escape the terrain of the justification of secession by making a distinction between the democratic theory of secession and the theory of democratic secession. In the first section, the theoretical nexus democracy-secession has been approached both from a legal and political theory perspective. The second section of the book examines the instruments that the th...
Eugenio Bulygin en la Teoría del Derecho contemporánea
Los trabajos de Eugenio Bulygin (1931-2021) han ejercido una influencia extraordinaria en la filosofía del derecho contemporánea. Durante más de cincuenta años, sus contribuciones han enriquecido los aspectos más importantes de la teoría analítica del derecho: el razonamiento jurídico, la reconstrucción de los conceptos jurídicos y la explicación de la naturaleza sistemática del derecho. Para conmemorar esa impresionante trayectoria de un filósofo excepcional y un maestro entrañable, se publican, en dos volúmenes, 47 trabajos originales de teóricos y filósofos del derecho de Argentina, Chile, Brasil, México, Colombia, Estados Unidos, España, Italia, Portugal, Alemania, Francia y Rusia. Todos estos artículos giran en torno a problemas y desafíos que Bulygin ha enfrentado a lo largo de casi seis décadas: la forma y naturaleza de los argumentos jurídicos, la posibilidad de una lógica de normas, la distinción entre normas y proposiciones normativas, los límites del derecho, la ontología de las normas y la plausibilidad del positivismo jurídico.
