Description
The Normativity of Law addresses one of the most pressing questions in philosophy of law: what makes law normative? Why do legal norms obligate us to act in certain ways? Michael Giudice provides a comprehensive examination of different theoretical approaches to legal normativity, including positivist, natural law, and pragmatist perspectives.
This Element analyzes how law differs from other normative systems and explores the relationship between legality and legitimacy. Giudice considers whether normativity is a necessary feature of law or merely a contingent characteristic, and discusses the role of social practices, institutions, and authority in creating legal obligations. The work is essential reading for scholars and students interested in understanding the philosophical foundations of legal systems and the nature of legal obligation.
