Conceptual Jurisprudence

"Conceptual Jurisprudence" is an academic book that brings together leading legal theorists to present original philosophical works on the concept of law, which represents the central question of jurisprudence. The book is divided into five comprehensive thematic areas. First, debates on the methodology of jurisprudence are addressed. The second part focuses on the concept of a legal system and its coercive nature. The third part examines the relationships between law and morality, a traditional point of contention between positivist and non-positivist legal theories. The fourth part discusses questions regarding the normative character of law and its relationships to practical reason. Finally, the last part introduces two novel theoretical approaches to conceptual jurisprudence. This book offers an in-depth analysis and new perspectives on fundamental questions of law.
