This unique book presents various ways in which evolutionary theory
can contribute to the analysis of key legal-philosophical problems.
Wojciech Zaluski explores three central questions; the ontological
question - what is the nature of law?; the teleological-axiological
question - what are the main values to be realized by law?; the
normativity question, which has two aspects; normative: what
explains the fact that legal norms provide reasons for action?, and
motivational: what explains the fact that humans can be motivated
by legal norms? It is argued that evolutionary theory suggests
non-trivial answers to these questions, and that these answers can
become the building blocks of a new - evolutionary - paradigm in
legal philosophy. Being the first study entirely devoted to the
analysis of fundamental legal-philosophical problems from the
standpoint of evolutionary theory, this book is a must-read for
graduate and postgraduate students, practitioners and philosophers
in the field of legal philosophy.
