This book brings together twelve of the most important legal
philosophers in the Anglo-American and Civil Law traditions. The
book is a collection of the papers these philosophers presented at
the Conference on Neutrality and Theory of Law, held at the
University of Girona, in May 2010. The central question that the
conference and this collection seek to answer is: Can a theory of
law be neutral? The book covers most of the main jurisprudential
debates. It presents an overall discussion of the connection
between law and morals, and the possibility of determining the
content of law without appealing to any normative argument. It
examines the type of project currently being held by
jurisprudential scholarship. It studies the different approaches to
theorizing about the nature or concept of law, the role of
conceptual analysis and the essential features of law. Moreover, it
sheds some light on what can be learned from studying the
non-essential features of law. Finally, it analyzes the nature of
legal statements and their truth values. This book takes the reader
a step further to understanding law.

This discussion of causal uncertainty in tort liability adopts a
comparative approach in order to highlight the important normative,
epistemological and procedural implications of the various proposed
solutions. Occupying a middle ground between the legal perspective
and the philosophical views that are at stake when it comes to the
resolution of tort law cases in a context of causal uncertainty,
the arguments will be of great interest to legal scholars, legal
philosophers and advanced tort law students.
