解説

Legal Hermeneutics: History, Theory, and Practice presents a groundbreaking collection of essays that explore the rich interplay between legal interpretation and the broader field of hermeneutics. Through contributions from leading scholars, this volume addresses the complex ways legal texts are read, understood, and applied, positioning legal hermeneutics within the larger humanist tradition. By framing law as an interpretive practice deeply embedded in linguistic, historical, and political contexts, the book challenges traditional views of law as a purely rule-governed system, advocating instead for a more nuanced understanding rooted in philosophical inquiry.

Prominently featuring the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer, the essays interrogate the ontological underpinnings of interpretation, emphasizing the dynamic interaction between text and reader, tradition and present understanding. With a focus on both theoretical exploration and practical application, the volume delves into topics ranging from the history of legal hermeneutics to contemporary debates on originalism, constitutional interpretation, and the indeterminacy of law. Scholars and practitioners alike are encouraged to engage critically with these perspectives, fostering a more holistic and humanistically informed approach to legal interpretation. This collection is not merely an academic exercise but an invitation to rethink how legal meaning is shaped by and shapes the larger social and intellectual fabric.
