Book Description

0748602801 978-0748602803 December 18, 1991
In this book some of Europe's most distinguished juristic scholars present a series of debates on the philosophy of law. Legal theorists, including Michel Villey, Ronald Dworkin, Ola Weinberger, Jerzy Wroblewski and Hulmut Wilke, debate the issue of the "existence" of law. They ask - does law exist? and if so, how, and on what footing? Is it complete in itself, or subject to gaps? Is it complete in itself, or subject to gaps? Is law self-sustaining, or has it external supports and sources of legitimization? In controversial exchanges they define the ontological commitments necessary to believe in law's existence, and debate the concept of laws as "institutional facts". This book debates the whole range of ontological issues about law, and should be of particular interest to philosophers and sociologists of law.
