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 book offers a transnational perspective of evidentiary
problems, drawing on insights from different systems and legal
traditions. It avoids the isolated manner of analyzing evidence and
proof within each Common Law and Civil Law tradition. Instead, it
features contributions from leading authors in the evidentiary
field from a variety of jurisdictions and offers an overview of
essential topics that are of both theoretical and practical
interest. The collection examines evidence not only as a
transnational field, but in a cross-disciplinary context. Each
chapter engages with the interdisciplinary themes cutting through
the issues discussed, benefiting from the expertise and experience
of their diverse authors.
