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.
Teoría analítica del derecho
Teoría analítica del derecho es un estudio profundizado de algunos de los principales problemas de la teoría general del derecho, que centra la atención fundamentalmente en el lenguaje y el razonamiento jurídico. Desde una concepción analítica de la filosofía, el libro se estructura en siete capítulos dedicados al examen de las normas, el lenguaje y la lógica, el concepto de derecho, las normas jurídicas y los conceptos jurídicos fundamentales, el derecho como sistema, la dinámica jurídica, la interpretación y el conocimiento del derecho, el razonamiento jurídico y la justificación de las decisiones judiciales.

Ética judicial en Iberoamérica: una aproximación desde la argumentación jurídica.
La presente obra invita al lector a cuestionar y reflexionar de manera crítica sobre la elevada función que tienen los jueces en los Estados Constitucionales de Iberoamérica desde un enfoque de la argumentación jurídica. En el libro se abordan temas relacionados con la ética judicial de manera transversal, tales como la cortesía judicial, la equidad y la responsabilidad social e institucional que tienen los jueces frente a la sociedad. El Código Iberoamericano de Ética Judicial ha sido en la última década un punto de partida de mínimos para construir un mismo lenguaje en Iberoamérica sobre aquellos contenidos necesarios para que la judicatura recupere la credibilidad que ha perdido en los últimos años ante la sociedad. En tal sentido, se propone redimensionar y reconfigurar los modelos deónticos bajo los cuales funciona en la actualidad, y además, replantear los antiguos esquemas argumentativos a través de los cuales la justicia constitucional dota de sentido a los valores constitucionales que son el punto de partida para la construcción de los Estados Democráticos modernos.
Institutions, Emotions, and Group Agents
The contributions gathered in this volume present the state of the art in key areas of current social ontology. They focus on the role of collective intentional states in creating social facts, and on the nature of intentional properties of groups that allow characterizing them as responsible agents, or perhaps even as persons. Many of the essays are inspired by contemporary action theory, emotion theory, and theories of collective intentionality. Another group of essays revisits early phenomenological approaches to social ontology and accounts of sociality that draw on the Hegelian idea of recognition. This volume is organized into three parts. First, the volume discusses themes highlighted...
Legal and Political Philosophy
Legal and Political Philosophy, edited by Enrique Villanueva, is the first volume in the series Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy, published by Rodopi also under his editorship. It contains six original essays by leading political philosophers and philosophers of law (Waldron, Coleman, Postema, Shapiro, Sayre-McCord, and Kraus), along with critical papers on those essays, and replies. This is cutting edge work that elicits sharp responses already as it is published, with the debate joined as the authors reply. Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy is a new book series, edited by Enrique Villanueva, and published by Rodopi Publishers as part of Rodopi Philosophical Studies. The series will publish collections of new essays on topics in social or political or legal philosophy. New volumes will be published approximately every year or every other year.
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.
