描述 | Martin van Hees presents a new approach to the study of law -legal reductionism - which combines elements of legal positivism, newinstitutionalism and decision theory. From legal positivism Van Heesderives some fundamental insights into the nature of legal systems,but he also revises some of its key tenets. He argues that law can bereduced to facts; moreover, he re-establishes the relation between lawand morality by arguing that law and positive morality are inherentlyrelated. He subsequently uses decision-theoretic tools to develop anddefend his reductionist methodology..The second part of the study applies the resulting approach to ananalysis of legal freedom. By showing that legal reductionism allowsus to analyse the value of liberal legal systems, Van Hees makes aforceful case for including the study of law in moral and politicalphilosophy..The book is accessible to a wide readership, including legal and moralphilosophers, political theorists and social scientists. |
