Edited by Luís Duarte
d'Almeida, John Gardner and Leslie Green
Forty years after his
death, Hans Kelsen (1881-1973) remains one of the most discussed and influential
legal philosophers of our time. This collection of new essays takes Kelsen's
Pure Theory of Law as a stimulus, aiming to move forward the debate on several
central issues in contemporary jurisprudence. The essays in Part I address
legal validity, the normativity of law, and Kelsen's famous but puzzling idea
of a legal system's 'basic norm'. Part II engages with the difficult issues
raised by the social realities of law and the actual practices of legal
officials. Part III focuses on conceptual features of legal systems and the
logical structure of legal norms. All the essays were written for this volume
by internationally renowned scholars from seven countries. Also included, in
English translation, is an important polemical essay by Kelsen himself.
