This volume,which offers a bridge between comparative law and legal
theory, centers upon debates about European legal integration, and,
more generally, about the methodology of comparative law. What
should be compared? Statutory rules, case law, legal history, law's
political, sociological and economical environment, the ideological
background of the lawyers, legal techniques, legal traditions,
legal cultures, etc.? This question is at the core of many current
debates and is discussed in many of the papers contained in this
volume. The contributors all attempt to locate law in its context,
and adopt a more theoretical and interdisciplinary approach to
making comparisons. In taking an interdisciplinary approach many of
the contributors look at our current law from the point of view of
one non legal discipline, with an eye on at least some other
elements of law's context: notably legal history, legal sociology
(especially 'legal culture') and linguistics. They also contribute
new ideas to various areas of legal theory including legal
epistemology, pluralist or monist conceptions of a 'legal system',
legal methodology, judicial reasoning, the theory of legal sources,
and the analysis of concepts such as 'equality', 'rights', 'legal
principles', 'personal rights' and 'personal identity'.
