Bringing together esteemed philosophers and more junior scholars, this volume critically assesses the nature of legal reasoning across general jurisprudence, rules and reasons, and doctrine and practice.

Stimulating works that address fundamental issues in legal philosophy. The intention of this series is that it should encompass monographs and collections of essays that address the fundamental issues in legal philosophy. The foci are conceptual and normative in character, not empirical. Studies addressing the idea of law as a species of practical reason are especially welcome. Recognizing that there is no occasion to sharply distinguish analytic and systematic work in the field from historico-critical research, the editors also welcome studies in the history of legal philosophy. Contributions to the series, inevitably crossing disciplinary lines, will be of interest to students and professionals in moral, political, and legal philosophy.
