Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Vienna Lectures on Legal Philosophy Volume 2: Normativism and Anti-normativism in Law by Edited by Dr Christoph Bezemek Edited by Professor Michael Potacs Edited by Alexander Somek
This second volume in the series presents 11 chapters dedicated to normativist and anti-normativist approaches to law. The book focuses on the question: What is law? Is it a set of obligations imposed on courts and officials to guide their conduct and to assess the conduct of others? Or is it the result of settlements reached by opposing sides that accept arrangements and understandings to sustain peaceful cooperation? The collection presents a balanced and nuanced assessment of what is perhaps the most controversial debate in contemporary legal philosophy today.
