Bringing together first-tier legal philosophers and scholars of Alexy's work who represent many of the countries where his theory has enjoyed attention, this volume reflects the uncommon virtues of Alexy's seminal work: its philosophical depth, disciplinary breadth, and geographical reach. Avoiding the hagiographic bent, repetition and ill-founded criticism that often encumber collections of this kind, the editor has managed to stage a genuine dialogue between the authors and Alexy, a dialogue that offers a wealth of original insights into the discourse of law and, indeed, contemporary legal theory generally.

In short, this is a good and useful book not only to those interested in the ideas of Robert Alexy, but also to those with more general worries such as the relation between law and morality, the criteria to evaluate adjudication grounded in human rights, the structure of legal reasoning and the investigation on which sort of theory of law would be able to ground legal objectivity. Given the impact of Alexy's work across many jurisdictions, it is not clear why a comprehensive book on his contribution to legal theory has not been published in English before now. This lacuna has been filled by Law, Rights and Discourse.

…this volume helps us to gain a better understanding of the implications of Alexy's theory of legal argumentation, but also to identify new areas of research within the discourse theory of law.
