A considerable number of books and papers have analyzed normative
concepts using new techniques developed by logicians; however, few
have bridged the gap between the Continental (i.e., European) and
Latin American traditions in legal philosophy. This book addresses
this issue by offering an introductory study on the many
possibilities that logical analysis offers the study of legal
systems. The volume is divided into two sections: The first covers
the basic aspects of classical and deontic logic and its
connections, advancing an explanation of the most important topics
of the discipline by comparing different systems of deontic logic
and exploring some of the most important paradoxes in its domain.
The second section deals with the role of logic in the analysis of
legal systems by discussing in what sense deontic logic and the
logic of norm-propositions are useful tools for a proper
understanding of the systematic structure of law. Arguments are
provided to stress the relevance of a systematic reconstruction of
law as a necessary step in the identification of the truth
conditions of legal statements and the reasons for accepting or
rejecting the validity of logical consequences of enacted legal
norms.
