The Legal Order : Studies in the Foundations of Juridical Thinking, Hardback Book

The Legal Order : Studies in the Foundations of Juridical Thinking Hardback

Part of the Law and Philosophy Library series

Hardback

Description

In this monograph a fundamental distinction is made between law and juridical thinking.

Law is the content of legal rules and the systems of legal rules.

Juridical thinking is the handling of the law by the lawyers.

To this distinction corresponds a basic distinction between the language of law and the language of juridical thinking, and correlatively, between L-concepts (law concepts) and J-concepts (juridical or jurisprudential concepts).

The monograph is devoted to the J-concepts, especially of technical (not ideological or  evaluative) J-concepts.

Four kinds of J-concepts are investigated: morphological J-concepts, those that help us to structure the law in a logical and functional way; topological J-concepts, those that help us to indicate the phenomena to which the law is applicable, and to separate the areas of application for different legal systems; praxeological J-concepts, those that help us to explore the relations between law and action, and methodological J-concepts, those that help us to describe the methods of the professional-juridical handling of the law.

The work can be characterised as presenting a lawyer´s philosophy of law.
