This volume offers a collection of articles by leading legal and
political theorists. Originally intended as a celebration of
MacCormick's work on the occasion of the completion of the
four-volume series on "Law, State and Practical Reason," it has
turned into a homage and salute after MacCormick's passing. Cast in
MacCormick's reflexive spirit, the book presents a critical
reconstruction of the Scottish philosopher's work, with the aim of
revealing the connections between law and democracy in his writings
and furthering his insights in each specific field.
Neil MacCormick made outstanding contributions to the
understanding of law and democracy under conditions of pluralism.
His institutional theory of law has elucidated the close connection
between the normative character of law as a means of social
integration and legal social practices. This has produced a
synthesis of the key insights of the legal and political theories
of Kelsen, Hart, Alexy and Dworkin, and has broken new ground by
undermining the 'monolithic' and 'nation-state' centered character
of standard legal theories."
