Legal Gluts? - Guest Lecture Professor Jeremiah Joven Joaquin (De La Salle)

21 April 2023 2:00pm
 
in Philosophy Seminars
In a recent paper, Bradley Armour-Garb (2022) outlines the debate between Graham Priest (2006, 2017) and Jc Beall (2017) concerning the existence of legal gluts -- i.e. of true contradictory laws or statutes. He argues that Priest's positive position is more plausible than Beall's negative one. In this paper, we offer some reasons to think otherwise.
