Details

The third volume of the Vienna Lectures on Legal Philosophy series focuses on one of the most fiercely contested issues in contemporary legal philosophy: the question of the importance of legal reasoning and how to properly engage with it.

This book considers issues with legal reasoning from two different angles: On the one hand, it revolves around the concerns at the heart of internal debates, such as interpretation and balancing; both of which are broadly understood to include questions that cover the wide spectrum of legal methodology. On the other hand, this volume asks not only what we do when we engage in legal reasoning, but also whom we entrust with decision-making based on legal reasoning, why we should do so and how this relates to the very concept of law.

The book approaches these underlying problems from a variety of perspectives and against the backdrop of different academic traditions, showcasing the rich landscape of critical debates around contemporary legal reasoning.
