A second (and last, I promise!) paper of mine is published this week, as part of a special issue of Revus edited by the great @jrabanos.bsky.social and @bojanspaic.bsky.social.
I have tried to keep the Latin to an absolute minimum.

The contributions explore what Williams’ work can illuminate about legal responsibility, regret & other key legal concepts, and to ask what his distinctly humanistic approach to philosophy (including genealogy & methodological pluralism) can teach us about how we do jurisprudence

Bernard Williams was widely regarded as the most important moral philosopher of his generation. Surprisingly, his work is still largely under-discussed in legal theory. This book aims to fill this gap with brand new discussions from scholars both from law and philosophy.

Ha habido un largo camino entre esa muy joven yo que miró a la autoridad y preguntó: ¿por qué? Un camino que todavía sigo recorriendo (y aprendiendo) paso a paso... o, en nuestro ámbito, obra a obra.
Estoy feliz, y muy (muy) agradecida, de ver finalmente publicado este libro.

I am thrilled to be part of this volume, which critically explores the topic of law and the unity of practical reasoning - rarely explicitly and systematically discussed, despite it being a cornerstone of many contemporary debates.
Here the whole volume in Open Access:

In recent decades, authority has mainly been treated as a reason-based concept within legal philosophy, understood through practical reasoning
Here, I analyse this choice & its theoretical & practical consequences - and why we may want to reconsider it

As @bojanspaic.bsky.social has said, in legal theory one lives on the "highly recommended" of the Legal Theory Blog.
Thanks @lsolum.bsky.social !

The fabulous @jrabanos.bsky.social and @BojanSpaic discussed experimental jurisprudence with me in their awesome podcast! If you want to know why experimental jurisprudence is not like theoretical physics, or what does lying and reasonableness have in common, check it out!

I have been invited as a guest for this year's Kamingespräch (fireside talk), dedicated to the perennial and never resolved debate on law & coercion.
I will also have the opportunity to participate in the discussion of this year's papers, which promises to be very challenging.
