Reasoning in Ethics and Law - Musschenga, Albert W. a Steen, Wim J. van der

Legal and moral reasoning share much methodology, and they address similar problems. This volume charts two shared problems: the relation between theory, principles and particular judgments; and the role of facts and factual assertions in normative settings. Its focus on the role of facts in normative reasoning makes this book of special interest to scholars of legal and moral argumentation.
