This book intends to unite studies in different fields related to the development of the relations between logic, law and legal reasoning. Combining historical and philosophical studies on legal reasoning in Civil and Common Law, and on the often neglected Arabic and Talmudic traditions of jurisprudence, this project unites these areas with recent technical developments in computer science.This combination has resulted in renewed interest in deontic logic and logic of norms that stems from the interaction between artificial intelligence and law and their applications to these areas of logic. The book also aims to motivate and launch a more intense interaction between the historical and philosophical work of Arabic, Talmudic and European jurisprudence.The publication discusses new insights in the interaction between logic and law, and more precisely the study of different answers to the question: what role does logic play in legal reasoning? Varying perspectives include that of foundational studies (such as logical principles and frameworks) to applications, and historical perspectives.

Der Sammelband vereinigt die Beiträge zu einem Symposion aus Anlass des 75. Geburtstages von Klaus Luig in Konstanz. Klaus Luig hat wie wenige andere zur Erforschung der Epoche des Natur- oder Vernunftrechts in der frühen Neuzeit beigetragen. Das gilt sowohl für die Rechtstheorie dieser Zeit als auch für die Dogmengeschichte. Die Tagungsbeiträge von Freunden, Schülern und Weggefährten des Jubilars spiegeln dieses Forschungsinteresse auf je eigene Weise. Zeitlich greifen sie über die Vernunftrechtsepoche hinaus, indem sie die naturrechtlichen Fragestellungen bis in die Antike einerseits und das 19. Jh. andererseits verfolgen. Inhaltlich reichen sie auch bis zur Umsetzung der Kodifikationsidee, die wesentlich durch das Naturrechtsdenken des 18. Jhs. beeinflusst war. Dieser Zugriff auf das Thema soll das weite Spektrum rechtshistorischer Diskussion repräsentieren und zu weiteren Forschungen anregen.

Während das, was geltende Gesetze sind und sollen (erst recht wenn sie geschrieben sind), kaum jemals ein Gegenstand von Kontroversen war, gehen und gingen die Lehrmeinungen hinsichtlich der Frage, was ἐπιείκεια, aequitas oder Billigkeit sei, in der Geschichte der Jurisprudenz und der Philosophie weit auseinander. Wie sich geltendes Recht und das elementare Gerechtigkeitsprinzip der Billigkeit zueinander verhalten, kann nur deutlich werden, wenn man die maßgeblichen historischen Positionen miteinander vergleicht. Zu diesem Zweck rollt der vorliegende Band die genannte Fragestellung interdisziplinär und anhand exemplarischer Antworten auf. In 22 Beiträgen widmen sich namhafte Expertinnen und Experten den historischen Positionen. Das Ergebnis ist ein Längsschnitt im Breitwandpanorama, das von Platon und Aristoteles bis zum BGB und zum Europäischen Gerichtshof reicht.

This volume explores the relation between legal reasoning and logic from both a historical and a systematic perspective. The topics addressed include, among others, conditional legal acts, disjunctions in legal acts, presumptions and conjectures, conflicts of values, Jørgensen´s Dilemma, the Rhetor´s Dilemma, the theory of legal fictions and the categorization of contracts. The unifying problematic of these contributions concerns the conditional structures and, more particularly, the relationship between legal theory and legal reasoning in the context of conditions.The contributions in this work constitute the first results of the ANR-DFG joint research project “JuriLog” (Jurisprudence and Logic), which aims at fostering the cooperation between legal scholars and philosophers. On the one hand, lawyers and legal scholars have an interest in emphasizing the logical character of legal reasoning. In this respect, the present enquiry examines the question of how logic, especially newer forms of dialogical logic, can be made fruitful as a significant area of philosophy for jurisprudence and legal practice. On the other hand, logicians find in legal reasoning a striving towards clear definitions and inference-procedures that is relevant to their discipline. In order to fully understand such reciprocal relationships, it is necessary to bridge the gap between law, logic and philosophy in contemporary academic research. The essays collected in this volume all work towards this common goal.The book is divided in three sections. In the first part, the strong relation between Roman Law and logic is explored with respect to the analysis of disjunctive statements in legal acts. The second part focuses on Leibniz´s legal theory. The third part, finally, is dedicated to current interactions between law and logic.
