The term 'genealogical' conveys a commitment to a non-metaphysical type of enquiry. While it explains how law, as a normative phenomenon, comes about, it does not seek to ground law's normativity in anything but the context of social interaction giving rise to it. Legal normativity is brought about on a daily basis. Whether in revolutionary circumstances or in the quotidian need for judges, lawmakers or citizens to balance law's demands with those of morality or prudence, our ability to bind ourselves through law ultimately depends on our capacity to articulate a better way of living together, and to commit ourselves to it. These efforts of assessment and articulation depend, in turn, on our conception of normative agency. Assert the need to trace the truth of ethical judgments to some independent moral 'facts' conditioning their objectivity, and you will get a different understanding of what it is we are doing when we dispute law's authority in the name of moral values. Tracing the truth of moral judgements back to our own social practices not only affects the nature of disagreement; it also dramatically increases our responsibility when, as lawmakers, judges, or citizens we 'take the law into our own hands' and confront it with our moral expectations."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLegal theory today. 606 $aLaw 606 $aNatural law 606 $aNormativity (Ethics) 606 $aSocial norms 606 $2Jurisprudence & philosophy of law 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aNatural law. 615 0$aNormativity (Ethics) 615 0$aSocial norms. 676 $a340.112 700 $aDelacroix$b Sylvie$01178070 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825520303321 996 $aLegal norms and normativity$94123912 997 $aUNINA
