Anarchist before the Law
Law without Authority
AvSaul Newman,Massimo La Torre
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 758 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
When might an anarchist need a good lawyer? Why do radical activists committed to revolutionary change often have to work within the limits of the law? Can a judge also be an anarchist? This book is an exploration of a paradoxical, yet necessary, encounter between anarchism and the law. Anarchism offers the most radical critique of the principle of legal authority and, as such, poses essential questions that legal philosophy must respond to regarding political obligation and the legitimacy of coercion. At a time when the law is in a state of crisis, it becomes crucial to interrogate its founding principles and ethical limits. Through an exploration of the anarchist tradition, and engaging with contemporary continental and analytical approaches to questions of jurisprudence, state sovereignty, violence, civil disobedience and human rights, this book develops an original anarchist theory of legal institutionalism and a concept of law without authority and coercion.

Constitutionalism and Legal Reasoning
AvMassimo La Torre

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book, which consist of three chapters and two appendices, is intended to connect subjects that have usually been considered as detached or not strongly connected: constitutionalism, legal argumen- tion and legal ethics. Its main contention is that contemporary consti- tionalism pushes towards a new style of legal reasoning, which needs to take into account moral criteria and principles and that eventually the interpretative and moralist approach will lead to a somewhat unort- dox and less authoritarian concept of law. A constitution to be taken seriously and as a distinct and superior source of law, will end up referring to some sort of constitutional justice or judicial review. And constitutional reasoning and justice need to make recourse to principles but principles to be given an operative content should be elaborated through some form of moral reasoning. This r- soning however, if it does not want to betray the spirit of constitutional democracy and the very idea of a constitution as a special moment of self-determination, could not be just Platonism, a cognitivism without roots in the practice of public discourse and deliberation. So that cons- tutionalism will not really do without a public sphere and some activism of the latter. But if this is so, the traditional concept of law based on hi- archy, commands, prescription, sanction, and in the last instance violence, becomes obsolete. A law which is a command cannot be congruent with a practice ruled by discourse, that is, I argue, with constitution.

This book – which is the result of several years of research, discussion, writing and re-writing – consists of three parts and eight chapters. The rst part is given by the two rst chapters introducing the issue of validity and facticity in law. The second part (Chapters 3, 4 and 5) is the core of this study and tries to present a theory based on a speci c view about language and social practice. The third part deal with the issue of value judgments and views about morality and consists of Chapters 6 and 7. Chapter 8 should nally serve as epilogue. In the rst chapter a discussion is started about the relationship between law and power, seen as a presupposition for an assessment of the nature of law. As a matter of fact, as has been remarked, “general theories of law struggle to do justice to the 1 multiple dualities of the law”. Indeed, law has a “dual nature”: it is a fact, but it also a norm, a sort of ideal entity. Law is sanction, but it is also discourse. It is effectivity, or facticity, but it is also a vehicle of principles among which the central one is justice. But this duality is not only a phenomenological, or a matter of justi cation and implementation as two separate moments.

In an era that seeks to challenge the notion of the universality of human rights, this thought-provoking book explores their fundamental nature and considers the work and influence of German legal scholar and constitutional lawyer Robert Alexy, on contemporary jurisprudence and European Union law.What is the justification of balancing versus trading off fundamental rights against other rights and collective goods? Are there utilitarian considerations that can limit the normative force of human rights? Utilising both ''ideal'' and ''critical'' perspectives, this innovative book focuses on those inevitable questions which lie at the heart of any contemporary human rights discourse, as the premise of the dual nature of law is developed. A corresponding 'normative' perspective seeks to investigate the broader legal domains of the topic.This analytical book will be a key resource for students and scholars working in the fields of jurisprudence and legal theory, history and philosophy of law and comparative and EU law alike.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume offers different perspectives on judicial practice in the European and American contexts, both arguably characterized in the last decades by the emergence of novel normative and even policy arguments by judges. The central question deserving the attention of the contributors concerns the degree in which judicial exercises in practical reasoning may amount to forms of judicial usurpation of the legislative function by courts. Since different views as to the nature and scope of legal reasoning lead to different degrees of tolerance regarding what should be admissible to courts, that same nature and scope is thoroughly debated.The main disciplinary approach is that of general jurisprudence, but the contributions take stock of other disciplines in which judicial activism has been addressed, namely positive theories of judicial behavior. Accordingly, the book also explores the development of interdisciplinary dialogue about the theme.

El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos es de la autoría de Massimo La Torre, profesor italiano, nacido en Mesina en el seno de una familia de juristas. Su padre ejerció la abogacía y sirvió en la resistencia italiana contra el fascismo. Fue educado dentro de la tradición humanística –en un Liceo Classico– que incluyó el estudio del griego y del latín así como una sólida formación literaria. Cursó tanto la Licenciatura en Derecho como la Licenciatura en Ciencia Política en su Mesina natal. De esta época destaca el magisterio recibido de los profesores Rodolfo Di Stefano y Vincenzo Tomeo. Después de ejercer ante los tribunales y trabajar en el Archivo Estatal de Bolonia, se doctoró en el Instituto Universitario Europeo de Florencia con una tesis sobre Karl Larenz y la doctrina jurídica nacionalsocialista alemana bajo la supervisión de Gunther Teubner. Su itinerario profesional e intelectual lo ha llevado por un número considerable de centros de estudio universitarios: Graz, Edimburgo, Carlos III de Madrid, Münster, Estrasburgo, Lisboa, Hull, Catanzaro, entre otros. Desde mi punto de vista, el ambiente jurídico en el que estuvo inmerso durante su infancia así como la educación humanística recibida marcaron fuertemente su sensibilidad, su carácter. Ambos hechos, pienso también, son fundamentales para comprender su trabajo y pueden encontrarse reminiscencias claras de ello a lo largo de estas páginas.

El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos es de la autoría de Massimo La Torre, profesor italiano, nacido en Mesina en el seno de una familia de juristas. Su padre ejerció la abogacía y sirvió en la resistencia italiana contra el fascismo. Fue educado dentro de la tradición humanística –en un Liceo Classico– que incluyó el estudio del griego y del latín así como una sólida formación literaria. Cursó tanto la Licenciatura en Derecho como la Licenciatura en Ciencia Política en su Mesina natal. De esta época destaca el magisterio recibido de los profesores Rodolfo Di Stefano y Vincenzo Tomeo. Después de ejercer ante los tribunales y trabajar en el Archivo Estatal de Bolonia, se doctoró en el Instituto Universitario Europeo de Florencia con una tesis sobre Karl Larenz y la doctrina jurídica nacionalsocialista alemana bajo la supervisión de Gunther Teubner. Su itinerario profesional e intelectual lo ha llevado por un número considerable de centros de estudio universitarios: Graz, Edimburgo, Carlos III de Madrid, Münster, Estrasburgo, Lisboa, Hull, Catanzaro, entre otros. Desde mi punto de vista, el ambiente jurídico en el que estuvo inmerso durante su infancia así como la educación humanística recibida marcaron fuertemente su sensibilidad, su carácter. Ambos hechos, pienso también, son fundamentales para comprender su trabajo y pueden encontrarse reminiscencias claras de ello a lo largo de estas páginas.
