  • The Cosmopolitan State

    by H Patrick Glenn ...
    Series series Oxford Constitutional Theory
    For more than two centuries the idea of the nation-state has been widespread. The expression is now widely used and is even to be unavoidable. The 'nation-state' implies that the population of a state should be homogenous in terms of language, religion, and ethnicity; the nation and the state should coincide. However history demonstrates that there never has been, and there never will be, a nation ... Read more

  • The Republic

    by Plato ...
    The question The Republic sets out to define is "What is justice?" Given the difficulty of this task, Socrates and his interlocutors are led into a discussion of justice in the city, which Socrates suggests may help them see justice in the person, but on a grander (and therefore easier to discuss) scale ("suppose that a short-sighted person had been asked by some one to read small letters from a ...

  • Constitutional Personae

    Heroes, Soldiers, Minimalists, and Mutes

    by Cass R. Sunstein ...
    Series series Inalienable Rights
    Since America's founding, the U.S. Supreme Court had issued a vast number of decisions on a staggeringly wide variety of subjects. And hundreds of judges have occupied the bench. Yet as Cass R. Sunstein, the eminent legal scholar and bestselling co-author of Nudge, points out, almost every one of the Justices fits into a very small number of types regardless of ideology: the hero, the soldier, the ...

    Societal Constitutionalism and Globalization

    by Gunther Teubner ...
    Series series Oxford Constitutional Theory
    In recent years a series of scandals have challenged the traditional political reliance on public constitutional law and human rights as a safeguard of human well-being. Multinational corporations have violated human rights; private intermediaries in the internet have threatened freedom of opinion, and the global capital markets unleashed catastrophic risks. All of these phenomena call for a ... Read more

  • In Defence of War

    by Nigel Biggar ...
    Pacifism is popular. Many hold that war is unnecessary, since peaceful means of resolving conflict are always available, if only we had the will to look for them. Or they believe that war is wicked, essentially involving hatred of the enemy and carelessness of human life. Or they posit the absolute right of innocent individuals not to be deliberately killed, making it impossible to justify war in ... Read more

  • Burden of Proof, Presumption and Argumentation

    by Douglas Walton ...
    The notion of burden of proof and its companion notion of presumption are central to argumentation studies. This book argues that we can learn a lot from how the courts have developed procedures over the years for allocating and reasoning with presumptions and burdens of proof, and from how artificial intelligence has built precise formal and computational systems to represent this kind of ...

  • A Theory of Legal Sentences

    by Manuel Atienza, J. Ruiz Manero ...
    Series Book 34 - Law and Philosophy Library

The book presents an analysis of the different types of legal statements (mandatory rules, principles, power-conferring rules, definitions, ... Read more

    Edited by Jan Wolenski ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)
    Philosophical aspects of law and jurisprudence are investigated from various points of view. This collection represents the analytic approach to legal philosophy.

  • More Essential than Ever

    The Fourth Amendment in the Twenty First Century

    by Stephen J. Schulhofer ...
    Series series Inalienable Rights
    When the states ratified the Bill of Rights in the eighteenth century, the Fourth Amendment seemed straightforward. It requires that government respect the right of citizens to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Of course, "papers and effects" are now digital and thus more vulnerable to government spying. But the biggest threat ... Read more

  • Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory

    by Neil MacCormick ...
    Series series Clarendon Law Series
    What makes an argument in a law case good or bad? Can legal decisions be justified by purely rational argument or are they ultimately determined by more subjective influences? These questions are central to the study of jurisprudence, and are thoroughly and critically examined in Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory, now with a new and up-to-date foreword. Its clarity of explanation and argument make ... Read more
