Interpretivism and the Limits of Law
What does it mean to understand the law? This challenging book discusses whether and how understanding the law is qualitatively different from understanding a different, non-legal text or linguistic utterance, and whether knowledge of a language is sufficient to understand legal content in that language.
Proportionality in Law
This book addresses the principle of proportionality, which is currently one of the most important instruments of judicial review, from both analytical and theory of law perspectives. As such, the analysis provided is far more comprehensive and can be applied to all areas of law, not just constitutional law. On the one hand, the volume offers a broad perspective on several aspects related to proportionality, such as its structure, the balancing methodology and the distinction between rules and principles. On the other, it provides an innovative, normativist and analytical approach to proportionality, helping readers understand its structure and behaviour.
The Alexy-Poscher Debate on Legal Principles
This collective work provides a chronological and up-to-date reconstruction of the three-round debate between Robert Alexy and Ralf Poscher. The debate represents the German development of an enduring jurisprudential controversy over the concept and adjudicatory role of legal principles, classically addressed by HLA Hart and Ronald Dworkin. Alexy's principles theory, which has initially defined 'legal principles' as optimisation requirements, currently argues that they express an 'ideal ought'. Poscher's critique challenges the soundness of Alexy's principles theory by questioning its ontological and epistemological commitments. As legal principles are directly related to constitutional righ...
Proportionality, Balancing, and Rights
The book focuses on Robert Alexy’s theory of constitutional rights. Alexy systematically presented the theory in his seminal book “Theorie der Grundrechte” (1985; Engl. translation “Theory of Constitutional Rights, 2002) and continued to develop it in numerous subsequent articles. Arguably still the most influential theory of constitutional rights, it has found widespread academic support, as well as recognition in several constitutional jurisdictions. On the other hand, it has also been the object of considerable criticism. The aim of this book is to outline the central aspects of Alexy’s theory as he sees them, and to further develop the principles of constitutional, fundamental, and human rights by applying a constructive criticism of his theory.
Ponderação e Proporcionalidade - As condições normativas para a ponderação - Derrotabilidade, conflitos com normas de direitos fundamentais e particularismo jurídico - Vol. I
A ponderação e a proporcionalidade, que porventura consubstanciam os dois conceitos mais relevantes no domínio constitucional, têm sido o objeto das mais variadas e emocionais críticas por parte da comunidade jurídica, não obstante a inevitabilidade do primeiro em certas condições e a positivação do segundo na maioria dos sistemas jurídicos. No presente estudo, após analisar-se as respetivas condições de relevância normativa, formula-se uma teoria geral da ponderação, no âmbito da qual se explora o discurso das razões para a ação. Esclarecidas as relações conceptuais que o conectam à ponderação, é ainda exaurida a estrutura e comportamento do princípio da proporcionalidade, rejeitando-se a existência de um princípio da proibição da insuficiência, e explicitando-se a possibilidade de deferência judicial no quadro da sua aplicação.
