The destination is the practice at the heart of legal reasoning. It is suggested that this manifests the way in which the limitations of language and the incompleteness of human experience allow the opportunity for coherent development of the law and at the same time produce an inherent incoherence within the law. The central part of the book seeks to demonstrate how the problems of understanding legal reasoning replicate difficulties encountered in the philosophy of language, but challenges the attempts that have been made to harness approaches from within that discipline to illuminate legal reasoning. Instead it is argued that law provides an unrivalled test-bed for examining the limits of the capacity of our words, and that the study of law may be used to confront in a robust and illuminating manner the limitations of that discipline. The final chapter considers some of the implications of recognising the incoherence at the heart of legal reasoning, commenting on an institutional approach to law, the legitimacy of law, legal definitions, different approaches to legal reasoning, the role of appellate courts, the general possibility of providing a theoretical model of law, the use of legal rules, and the nature of law's critical aperture. The book should be of interest to advanced undergraduate students (particularly on jurisprudence courses), postgraduate students, academics, and practitioners concerned to reflect on the nature of the discipline they practice."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aLaw$xInterpretation and construction 606 $aLaw$xLanguage 606 $aLaw$xMethodology 606 $2Jurisprudence & philosophy of law 615 0$aLaw$xInterpretation and construction. 615 0$aLaw$xLanguage. 615 0$aLaw$xMethodology. 676 $a340/.1 700 $aHalpin$b Andrew$c(Law teacher),$01890924 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972855303321 996 $aReasoning with law$94533363 997 $aUNINA
