Legal Hermeneutics: History, Theory, and Practice
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
Interpretation of the law is unavoidable based on assumptions about the nature of texts, language, and the act of interpretation itself. Written by legal, political, and literary scholars, the fourteen new essays presented here trace the historical roots of these assumptions, critically examining their philosophical implications and extending the current debates in legal interpretation in new and constructive directions. The resulting interdisciplinary volume both clarifies current philosophical controversies and places long-standing legal debates in their proper hermeneutical context.
