The Tapestry of Reason - An Inquiry into the Nature of Coherence and its Role in Legal Argument

Zusatztext The conceptual relationship between justice and coherence makes the examination of the latter a pressing need... Amaya features extensive and in depth critical analysis of the issue under discussion... Undoubtedly! legal theorists have much to learn from Amaya's monograph. Informationen zum Autor Amalia Amaya is British Academy Global Professor at the School of Law, University of Edinburgh and Research Professor of Philosophy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Zusammenfassung Although coherence theories of law and adjudication have, recently, been extremely influential in legal scholarship and have significantly advanced the case for coherentism in law, a number of problems remain. This, the first concerted attempt to develop a coherence-based theory of legal reasoning, addresses, or at least mitigates these problems. Inhaltsverzeichnis PART I. LEGAL COHERENTISM 1.
