What does it mean to understand the law? This challenging book
discusses whether and how understanding the law is qualitatively
different from understanding a different, non-legal text or
linguistic utterance, and whether knowledge of a language is
sufficient to understand legal content in that language. Providing
a comprehensive overview of current studies of interpretivism, both
in the common and civil law systems, this book applies state of the
art theories and tools of modern philosophy of language to shed new
light on traditional questions in legal theory. Chapters discuss
the normative importance and descriptive impact of moral inferences
in legal interpretation and critically analyse the claims of legal
interpretivism, uncovering the most recent versions of legal
positivism. The impressive selection of leading contributors
explore an array of important topics including metaethics,
expressivism and legal semantics. Outlining a new direction of
study and delineating the path for future research on moral
inferences in legal interpretation, this timely book will be a
thought-provoking read for legal scholars and students interested
in legal theory, philosophy and interpretation.
This volume is the second part of a project which hosts an
interdisciplinary discussion about the relationship among law and
language, legal practice and ordinary conversation, legal
philosophy and the linguistics sciences. An international group of
authors, from cognitive science, philosophy of language and
philosophy of law question about how legal theory and pragmatics
can enrich each other. In particular, the first part is devoted to
the analysis of how pragmatics can solve problems related to legal
theory: What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and its
relationship with moral, and, in particular, about the eternal
dispute between legal positivism and legal naturalism? What can
pragmatics teach about the concept of law and/or legal
disagreements? The second part is focused on legal adjudication: it
aims to construct a pragmatic apparatus appropriate to legal trial
and/or to test the tenure of the traditional pragmatics tools in
the field. The authors face questions such as: Which interesting
pragmatic features emerge from legal adjudication? What pragmatic
theories are better suited to account for the practice of judgment
or its particular aspects (such as the testimony or the binding
force of legal precedents)? Which pragmatic and socio-linguistic
problems are highlighted by this practice?
This volume highlights important aspects of the complex
relationship between common language and legal practice. It hosts
an interdisciplinary discussion between cognitive science,
philosophy of language and philosophy of law, in which an
international group of authors aims to promote, enrich and refine
this new debate. Philosophers of law have always shown a keen
interest in cognitive science and philosophy of language in order
to find tools to solve their problems: recently this interest was
reciprocated and scholars from cognitive science and philosophy of
language now look to the law as a testing ground for their theses.
Using the most sophisticated tools available to pragmatics,
sociolinguistics, cognitive sciences and legal theory, an
interdisciplinary, international group of authors address questions
like: Does legal interpretation differ from ordinary understanding?
Is the common pragmatic apparatus appropriate to legal practice?
What can pragmatics teach about the concept of law and pervasive
legal phenomena such as testimony or legal disagreements?
