Description

Explore a unique approach to constitutionalism in this academic work from Oxford University Press. This title examines the paradoxical relationship between principles and rules through the lens of systems theory. It provides a critical counterpoint to Ronald Dworkin's principle-based theory and Robert Alexy's concept of optimizing balancing. Instead of following the compulsion of optimizing balancing, the text suggests the possibility of comparative or satisficing balancing, taking into account the precariousness of legal rationality. The book also offers a reversal of Dworkin's metaphor by associating rules with Hercules and principles with the Hydra. This work is an essential resource for those studying the complex dynamics of legal theory and constitutional structures.
