Book Description
Since the work of Norberto Bobbio and Uberto Scarpelli, Italian legal theory has made a distinctive contribution to modern jurisprudence, in analysing the constitutive, logical and significatory aspects of language for law, largely in the light of neo-empiricism and the philosophy of language. To date, most of this research has been unavailable outside the Italian-speaking world. This new book, the first collection of translations into English of leading articles from this tradition, therefore fills an important gap in the current literature. With contributions from many leading theorists, including Bobbio and Scarpelli themselves, Law and Language: The Italian Analytical School will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers in jurisprudence and the philosophy of language.
