Metaethical Issues in Contemporary Legal Philosophy
This volume explores the importance of constitutivism for legal studies. Constitutivism is the view that the normative force, or authority, of practical reasons is grounded in principles, capacities, aims, or functions that are essential to, and thus constitutive of, agency. While the implications that the constitutivist approach has on the fundamental meta-ethical disputes and central ethical debates have been extensively explored, the literature on the relations between constitutivism and law remains scarce, unsystematic, and sporadic. This collection brings together world-renowned practical philosophers and legal theorists to fill a noticeable gap in the literature. The authors systematic...
Problems of Normativity, Rules and Rule-Following
This book focuses on the problems of rules, rule-following and normativity as discussed within the areas of analytic philosophy, linguistics, logic and legal theory. Divided into four parts, the volume covers topics in general analytic philosophy, analytic legal theory, legal interpretation and argumentation, logic as well as AI& Law area of research. It discusses, inter alia, “Kripkenstein’s” sceptical argument against rule-following and normativity of meaning, the role of neuroscience in explaining the phenomenon of normativity, conventionalism in philosophy of law, normativity of rules of interpretation, some formal approaches towards rules and normativity as well as the problem of defeasibility of rules. The aim of the book is to provide an interdisciplinary approach to an inquiry into the questions concerning rules, rule-following and normativity.

Evidential Legal Reasoning
A global overview of evidentiary reasoning with contributions from leading authorities from different legal traditions and four continents.
Practice Theory and Law
This book engages the field of practice theory in order to consider law as a social practice. Taking up the theoretical concept of practices, the contributors to this volume maintain that law can be fruitfully understood as one among other social practices. Including perspectives from philosophers of language, experts in practice theory, linguists and legal philosophers, the book examines the twin questions of what it means for law to be considered a practice, and what law’s place is among other social practices. The book is comprised of three parts. The first provides a broad methodological framework for discussing how the concept of practice is used in the social sciences, and in law. Th...
Unpacking Normativity
This book provides a new and wide-ranging study of law's normativity, examining conceptual, descriptive and empirical dimensions of this perennial philosophical issue. It also contains essays concerned with, among other issues, the relationship between semantic and legal normativity; methodological concerns pertaining to understanding normativity; normativity and legal interpretation; and normativity as it pertains to transnational law. The contributors come not only from the usual Anglo-American and Western European community of legal theorists, but also from Latin American and Eastern European communities, representing a diversity of perspectives and points of view – including essays from both analytic and continental methodologies. With this range of topics, the book will appeal to scholars in transnational law, legal sociology, normative legal philosophy concerned with problems of state legitimacy and practical rationality, as well as those working in general jurisprudence. It comprises a highly important contribution to the study of law's normativity.
Macroeconomics and Development
Latin American neo-structuralism is a cutting-edge, regionally focused economic theory with broad implications for macroeconomics and development economics. Roberto Frenkel has spent five decades developing the theory's core arguments and expanding their application throughout the discipline, revolutionizing our understanding of high inflation and hyperinflation, disinflation programs, and the behavior of foreign exchange markets as well as financial and currency crises in emerging economies. The essays in this collection assess Latin American neo-structuralism's theoretical contributions and viability as the world's economies evolve. The authors discuss Frenkel's work in relation to pricing...
Comprensión y justificación de la responsabilidad extracontractual
La pregunta más básica de la filosofía de la responsabilidad extracontractual es qué explica el deber de compensar los daños que causamos a otros. Esta cuestión ha sido abordada desde dos perspectivas bien diferentes. Por un lado, los partidarios del análisis económico del derecho adoptan una visión instrumentalista de las prácticas jurídicas, y adscriben a la responsabilidad civil el objetivo de reducir hasta un nivel razonable el coste de los accidentes. Los teóricos de la justicia correctiva, en cambio, sostienen que la práctica cobra su mayor sentido cuando se la interpreta a la luz de la rectificación de las interacciones injustas. La moral interna de la práctica está asociada a la justicia entre particulares y no al logro de objetivos sociales. Después de realizar una evaluación crítica de ambas teorías, este libro defiende un enfoque plural, de acuerdo con el cual el derecho de daños implementa un conjunto de consideraciones distributivas y correctivas que solo puede comprenderse totalmente cuando se advierte la importancia conceptual de los derechos y deberes de indemnidad en la regulación y la rectificación de las interacciones privadas.
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.
