Such a treatment overlooks the fact that legal  principles and rules are not statements which describe the world, but  rather means by which humans impose structure on the world. Legal  rules create legal consequences, they do not describe them. This has  consequences for the logic of rule- and principle-applying arguments,  the most important of which may be that such arguments are defeasible.  This book offers an extensive analysis of the role of rules and  principles in legal reasoning, which focuses on the close relationship  between rules, principles, and reasons. Moreover, it describes a  logical theory which assigns a central place to the notion of reasons  for and against a conclusion, and which is especially suited to deal  with rules and principles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-10-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048147731\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8873-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 266\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46608060252300,"sku":"9789048147731","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048147731.jpg?v=1773278265","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048147731","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
