Zusatztext It is a delight to see Robert Alexy's Begriff und Geltung des Rechts in English translation. All the more so because the remarkable translation skills of Bonnie Litschewski Paulson and Stanley L. Paulson have contributed to a sharpening of many of the arguments in the book...it is by far the most mature statement of Alexy's ideas on the concept of law while serving very well as a retrospective introduction to the philosophical problems in response to which he developed the discourse theory of law in the first place...The Argument from Injustice is a major contribution to the non-positivist literature. It will become a standard reference for future research in normative jurisprudence. Informationen zum Autor Robert Alexy has been Professor of Law, Christian Albrechts University Kiel, since 1986. He was Dean of the Faculty of Law, Kiel, 1998-2000. He was President from1994 until 1998, of the German Section of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR). Klappentext At the heart of this book is the age-old question of how law and morality are related. The legal positivist, insisting on the separation of the two, explicates the concept of law independently of morality. The author challenges this view, arguing that there are, first, conceptually necessary connections between law and morality and, second, normative reasons for including moral elements in the concept of law.
