Allan Beever lays the foundation for a timely philosophical and
empirical study of the nature of law with a detailed examination of
the structure of evolving law through declaratory speech acts. This
engaging book demonstrates both how law itself is achieved and also
its ability to generate rights, duties, obligations, permissions
and powers. Structured into three distinct parts - the philosophy
of law and jurisprudence, the structure of the social word and the
ontology of law, and the reconstruction of the philosophy of law -
the author provides insight into law as a human institution and
reveals that central debates are often based on misunderstandings
of interpretation and intentionality. Inspired by the philosophy of
John Searle alongside other well-respected legal theorists, the
author also analyses both sides of the mainstream jurisprudential
divide in its current state, in particular the theory of legal
positivism. Examining all aspects of law and answering the
important question of 'What is Law?', this book will be an
invaluable resource for academics and advanced students in law
schools and philosophy departments.
