On the naturalisation of law

Journal Title: Polish Law Review - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

The goal of the paper is to formulate a new conception of the naturalisation of law. I begin by highlighting the conceptual problems connected to the notion of naturalisation. I then proceed to describe and criticise three different approaches to the naturalisation project: separation, radical naturalisation and moderate naturalisation. I argue that the theoretical problems surrounding these three views are so profound that a novel perspective on the naturalisation of law is needed. Finally, I try to provide such a perspective by formulating a theory which stresses that naturalisation is a matter-of-degree and that it is measured by the level of coherence between legal and scientific knowledge.<br/><br/>
