Eugenio Bulygin is a distinguished representative of legal science
and legal philosophy as they are known on the European continent -
no accident, given the role of the civil law tradition in his home
country, Argentina. Over the past half-century, Bulygin has engaged
virtually all major legal philosophers in the English-speaking
countries, including H.L.A. Hart, Ronald Dworkin, and Joseph Raz.
Bulygin's essays, several written together with his eminent
colleague and close friend Carlos E. Alchourron, reflect the genre
familiar from Alf Ross's On Law and Justice, Hans Kelsen's Pure
Theory of Law, and Georg Henrik von Wright's Norm and Action.
Bulygin's wide-ranging interests include most of the topics found
under the rubric of analytical jurisprudence - interpretation and
judicial reasoning, validity and efficacy of law, legal positivism
and the problem of normativity, completeness and consistency of the
legal system, the nature of legal norms, and the role of deontic
logic in the law. The reader will take delight in the often
agreeably unorthodox character of Bulygin's views and in his
hard-hitting arguments in defence of them. He challenges the
received opinion on gaps in the law, on legal efficacy, on
permissory norms, and on the criteria for legal validity. Bulygin's
essays have been wellnigh inaccessible in the past, appearing in
specialized journals, often in Spanish or German. They are now
available for the first time in an English-language collection.
