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.
Pragmatics and Law
This volume highlights important aspects of the complex relationship between common language and legal practice. It hosts an interdisciplinary discussion between cognitive science, philosophy of language and philosophy of law, in which an international group of authors aims to promote, enrich and refine this new debate. Philosophers of law have always shown a keen interest in cognitive science and philosophy of language in order to find tools to solve their problems: recently this interest was reciprocated and scholars from cognitive science and philosophy of language now look to the law as a testing ground for their theses. Using the most sophisticated tools available to pragmatics, sociolinguistics, cognitive sciences and legal theory, an interdisciplinary, international group of authors address questions like: Does legal interpretation differ from ordinary understanding? Is the common pragmatic apparatus appropriate to legal practice? What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and pervasive legal phenomena such as testimony or legal disagreements?
The Planning Theory of Law
This collection of essays is the outcome of a workshop with Scott Shapiro on The Planning Theory of Law that took place in December 2009 at Bocconi University. It brings together a group of scholars who wrote their contributions to the workshop on a preliminary draft of Shapiro’s Legality. Then, after the workshop, they wrote their final essays on the published version of the book. The contributions clearly highlight the difference of the continental and civil law perspective from the common law background of Shapiro but at the same time the volume tries to bridge the gap between the two. The essays provide a critical reading of the planning theory of law, highlighting its merits on the one hand and objecting to some parts of it on the other hand. Each contribution discusses in detail a chapter of Shapiro’s book and together they cover the whole of Shapiro’s theory. So the book presents a balanced and insightful discussion of the arguments of Legality.
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.
Pensando al juez
Es evidente que la justicia como aspiración máxima de la humanidad ha despertado, desde siempre, un gran interés social. En unos momentos en los que la actividad mediática ha alcanzado una de las cotas de mayor presencia en la vida pública, la justicia y su mundo se han convertido en un foco de atención muy relevante, como podemos comprobar casi a diario.

La lectura de la obra que tenemos entre manos nos aboca a reflexionar seriamente sobre una tan delicada y necesa...
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.

Neutrality and Theory of Law
This book brings together twelve of the most important legal philosophers in the Anglo-American and Civil Law traditions. The book is a collection of the papers these philosophers presented at the Conference on Neutrality and Theory of Law, held at the University of Girona, in May 2010. The central question that the conference and this collection seek to answer is: Can a theory of law be neutral? The book covers most of the main jurisprudential debates. It presents an overall discussion of the connection between law and morals, and the possibility of determining the content of law without appealing to any normative argument. It examines the type of project currently being held by jurisprudential scholarship. It studies the different approaches to theorizing about the nature or concept of law, the role of conceptual analysis and the essential features of law. Moreover, it sheds some light on what can be learned from studying the non-essential features of law. Finally, it analyzes the nature of legal statements and their truth values. This book takes the reader a step further to understanding law.
