    Man, you are perfectly articulate. Nothing superfluous, nothing lacking. I really appreciate your video, and your relevant juxtapositions to rulings of the court. Thank you!

    Thank you so much, I'm before legal theory exam and couldn't wrap my head around what Jerome Frank's rule and fact -scepticism was about, but you made it sound so easy! Saving my life man!

    American Legal Realism specifically, there’s also Scandinavian Legal Realism, that’s a different thing

    0:40 putting them all together is very bad
    That’s soemthing all legal philosophies potentially are supposed to address

    13:36 that isn’t really a coherent position from the position of Frank in the first place.
    The whole point is the law *is* decisions. The point is what the background for why certain decision are actually made and what the outcome is. In this context we can talk about right and wrong, the point is there no special outside antotrary appeal outside the social reality of what the discourse is, social reality of the background and effects.
    The belief is it is possible to describe those. We can describe what arguments are used, which ones are accepted, which ones could be accepted (the idea is also to imagine alternative ones which could potentially be accepted but which were not, that is quite a crucial point, ie. as opposed to the all or nothing- what the actual discourse and justifications were, versus a position which would just have no provable likelihood do any effectiveness, instead decomposing it into different “levels” of alternative possibilities to be assessed)
    The idea that written statutes are “laws” and “rules” mixes up or ignores the point
    Can’t in terms of are “able” to do it compared to what they should do
    Again describing texts as “sets of rules” just ignores the linguistic point

      I think reasonable people can interpret complicated texts in different ways.

  • @mareksicinski3726
    @mareksicinski3726 4 месяца назад

    11:27 statutes, “laws” identified with texts of statutes

    That's how most people get through everyday real life as well: First we choose & then we justify. Rarely do we think things through b4 making a choice: Too much trouble, & often there's not enough time to think things through.

      That is exactly Jerome Frank’s point!

    From which book are you quoting Jerome Frank?

    • @GeorgeTsouris
      @GeorgeTsouris  2 года назад +1

      from Frank's LAW AND THE MODERN MIND, reprinted in Adams' PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEMS IN THE LAW, 5th.ed.

    Are you really going to be fooled by Frank’s sophistry!? He tried to repudiate formal logic by means of formal logic. So foolish and easily seen through with some thought.

    • @GeorgeTsouris
      @GeorgeTsouris  Год назад

      Fair enough. Not everyone agrees with this stuff. In fact, if this is to be believed, I think the entailments might be more devastating than Frank suggests.

    I like this, but I wish you would say "she" for the abstract third person pronoun. "He" is the proper pronoun when gender is unknown.
