Recenzii
This book is erudite, provocative and insightful. Somek evinces complete mastery of the diverse traditions in legal philosophy as he advances a novel account of the nature of legal knowledge. His work is compelling, engaging, and without equal in contemporary legal theory. This book is a must read.
Somek's Knowing What the Law Is is the best introduction to the philosophy of law to date. It tackles the deepest problems with a 'jaunty irony' which will at the same time engage newcomers and challenge the long initiated.
Alexander Somek, at the height of his powers, has already enjoyed a long and distinguished career. He is, unlike most of us, altogether at home in both worlds - the Anglophone world with its myopia and the Continental European world with its vast perspectives but, all too often, with analysis that falls short of the mark. Somek brings the best of both worlds together, and this is abundantly clear in his new book.
In this timely work, Alexander Somek ... provides three things: an elegant introduction to the philosophy of law, a survey of its recent history, and an original contribution in his own right. This is one of the few books from which both the expert and the beginner have much to learn, and it is the place anybody new to the subject should begin.
This concise book will stand the divide between analytical and continental legal theory on its ear. With eloquence and characteristic wit Somek unearths common themes between the two traditions and unveils lines of enquiry that link Dworkin with Schmitt and American Legal Realism with Kelsen ... Like a skilled therapist, resorting to drama and role-play, Somek reminds us of the common roots of our discipline, when it cared to source legal knowledge in concrete legal problems.
Alexander Somek's new book offers an intriguing introduction to contemporary legal theory. Lucidly written, Knowing What the Law Is reviews the main accounts of the nature of law and legal knowledge, while introducing a novel conception of law. What Somek terms the 'legal relation' usefully defines a specific normative form of social interaction that is close to morality in its commitment to equality, yet differs in its external character and structural affinity with threat and coercion.
Somek is not reluctant to offer his own view on controversial matters, but is never stinting in his presentation of competing views. The book should awaken the jurisprude in every budding lawyer. It manages to at once tell the uninitiated what the subject is about and convey to the initiated his own special take on it.
[A]n enjoyable text written by a person who loves legal theory and wishes to share his passion with others, including those who are not proficient in legal theory or philosophy and who do not invest their lives in mastering it. But it is not only a treasure for the layperson. The professional legal theorist will also find here a rich and nuanced description of different legal theories and traditions as well as insights into the historical and political context in which these theories were developed.
