For example: within > the USA, many people (including many Supreme Court justices) think that > American law should be interpreted in accordance with the “original meaning” > of legal texts, including that of the American constitution. Others strongly > disagree. Many of them instead think that facts about the intent of the law, > or our current moral and political goals, should play a role here too. > How should we best understand such debates about legal interpretation? What > would justify one view here rather than another? This talk will explore these > and other foundational questions about legal interpretation. In so doing, it > will engage with a range of questions about the nature of law, morality, and > political disagreement. > > > ABOUT THE SPEAKER: > David Plunkett is a Professor in the Philosophy Department at Dartmouth > College.
