Legal Reasoning: Semantic and Logical Analysis (American University Studies)

By Jovan Brkic

Legal Reasoning: Semantic and Logical Analysis brings together for the sophisticated and serious reader the analytic tools of several disciplines needed for a systematic and exhaustive treatment of legal reasoning. Specifically, these are the analytic tools for conceptual analysis, linguistic and logical structures. For example, the reader of Legal Reasoning will be able to learn which modern tools for the analysis of concepts like insanity, justice, property, crime, etc., are available and how far they can accomplish their task. Or, what computerization and mathe- matical modeling are all about and what they conceivably can do for the legal process. And, in general, how reliable legal, that is, intuitive reasoning is in practice and what formal logic can do for it.
