dc.description.abstract | For the last two decades, there has been an impasse between the two main camps of
positivism and normativism in the ongoing methodology debate in jurisprudence.
Furthermore, there have been recent attacks on the foundations of legal theory by
naturalists and legal sociologists. I propose a novel way to analyze the foundations of
jurisprudence in terms of theoretical presuppositions in an attempt to situate the
methodology debate within the wider context of the philosophy of social science and
understanding. The analysis inquires into the initial stage of theorizing where the
subject matter of a study is constituted. I call this the prior phase. This foundational
inquiry is built on the implications of the Gadamerian positive account of prejudices.
By facilitating this novel way, I show that the foundational worries about jurisprudence
stem from its central focus on defending the distinct normativity of the law. I argue that
a Gadamer-inspired approach to legal normativity is the key to overcome the impasse
and bring a livelihood to general jurisprudence. | en_US |
