Brian Burge-Hendrix

Epistemic Uncertainty and Legal Theory (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Crossing the usual boundaries of abstract legal theory, this book considers actual charter systems - legal systems with explicitly posited moral-political rights - as well as cases in constitutional adjudication. It shows the worth of careful reflection on methodological and meta-theoretical issues for a comprehensive account of a present-day legal system which is fast becoming the norm.
