EBOOK Institutionalized Reason:The Jurisprudence of Robert Alexy

This volume gathers leading figures from legal philosophy and constitutional        theory to offer a critical examination of the work of Robert Alexy. The        contributions explore the issues surrounding the complex relations between rights,        law, and morality and reflect on Alexy's distinctive work on these issues.The focus        across the contributions is on Alexy's main pre-occupations - his anti-positivist        views on the nature of law, his approach to the nature of legal reasoning, and his        understanding of constitutional rights as legal principles. In an extended response        to the contributions in the volume, Alexy develops his views on these central        issues.The volume's juxtaposition of Anglo-American and German perspectives brings        into focus the differences as well as the prospect of cross-fertilization between        Continental and Anglo-American work in jurisprudence.
