The course has two fundamental goals. On the one hand, it provides the student with analytic skills for the adequate understanding and use of key legal concepts. On the other hand, it aims to introduce the student to the debate on how the law functions and in which ways it can conflict with moral requirements. In any case, the students will be required to develop rational argumentation in order to identify the pros and cons of the different theories that will be analyzed.
From XIX century legislative state to XX constitutional democratic state. Formalism and anti-formalism. Legal Positivism and Natural Law theory. Analysis of normative language. Analysis of basic legal concepts (“law”, “right”, “legal system”, “legal norm”, “legal sanction”). Models and forms of legal reasoning. Legal interpretation. Relations between positive law and morals

Lectures
I semestre dal 17 settembre al 7 dicembre 2018
II semestre dal 25 febbraio al 17 maggio 2019
Students who attend the course: written and oral exam.
Students who do not attend the course: oral exam.
The students who attend the course will have an exam divided into two parts. In the first one – which will be written - the student will answer to six brief questions regarding those subjects that have been explained during the lessons and the contents of the recommended bibliography. Those who succeed in the first part of the exam will continue with the second, oral part of it. In this moment the student will be expected to offer a deeper account of the responses provided in the first part and to answer other new questions related to the program.
The evaluation will take into account the capacity to understand the problems discussed during the course and the ability to analyse the argument for and against the different philosophical thesis.
The students who do not attend the course will have only an oral exam. Also in this case the evaluation will take into account if the students have acquired the relevant concepts and those analytical capacities necessary to approach the central debates of the Philosophy of Law.
