[Call for Papers]
Organizers
Jorge Luis Fabra Zamora | Jorge Emilío Núñez | Gonzalo Villa Rosas
XXVIII World Congress of the International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR)
NEW VENUE FOR 2017 IVR CONGRESS: LISBON
16 – 21 July 2017
Presentation
Law has been defined in many forms and characterised by using essential, non-essential, necessary, sufficient, and even desirable conditions. Following Stammler’s classification of the four themes in law, that is ontology, axiology, formal logic and transcendental logic, the workshop aims to explore the law, its ontology and its nature. What are the essential conditions defining law? Do “essential” and “necessary” refer to the same conditions? Following recent works by Yankah and Schauer there seems to be renewed interest in elements that post-Hartian Anglo-American legal philosophy had long ago discarded: are the Hartian criticisms to Kelsenian and post-Kelsenian hard positivism still valid? Is coercion an essential element of law? Is legitimacy an essential element of law? Which are the relations between coercion and legitimacy of law? Which are the conditions for legitimacy of law? Is objectivity a condition for law and its legitimacy? These and related questions will be addressed by our speakers. A compilation book of the papers presented at the Worshop will be published in a Journal.
NOTES: Open to additional interested participants. The abstracts should be sent to the contact email by 10th May, 2017. Please send your manuscripts by 4th June, 2017.
