Description

Crossing the usual boundaries of abstract legal theory, this book considers actual charter systems - legal systems with explicitly posited moral-political rights, such as those of Canada and the United States - as well as cases in constitutional adjudication. It shows the worth of careful reflection on methodological and meta-theoretical issues for a comprehensive account of a present-day legal system which is fast becoming the norm. The author explicitly connects the ongoing Methodology Debate within legal philosophy to constitutional adjudication and Canadian law. By drawing out the implications of the Methodology Debate and the challenge of giving a proper account of constitutional adjudication in a general theory of law, the study examines how a descriptive, morally and politically neutral legal theory can deal with epistemic uncertainty - uncertainty about the actual status of moral-political legal provisions and their jurisprudential function - in a thoroughgoing manner. It also demonstrates the merits of a minimalist version of Legal Positivism with regard to the practical importance of charters in charter systems and societies. Review 'Epistemic Uncertainty and Legal Theory admirably succeeds in its chosen task of developing meta-theoretical criteria according to which we can evaluate competing theories of law. It offers a convincing and highly original argument for the preferability of inclusive over exclusive positivism as an account of the legal ordering of societies founded on constitutionally-entrenched charters of rights. The style is elegant and marked by a beautifully controlled economy of argument. An influential book that is a pleasure to read.'
