- Presents original philosophical work on foundational issues in EU law, aiding the understanding of its nature and purpose
- Explains the key issues and questions underlying the philosophy of EU law, offering a road-map of current work in the subject for those new to the field
- Explores the distinctive challenges for legal and political philosophy which the EU poses, contributing to a rounded picture of legal and political theory in the modern world
- Features essays from philosophers, moral philosophers, and EU legal academics, offering a range of perspectives on theoretical problems at the heart of EU law
The supranational law of the European Union represents a uniquely powerful, far-reaching, and controversial instance of the growth of international legal governance, one that has forever altered the political and legal landscape of its Member States. The EU has attracted significant attention from political scientists, economists, and lawyers who have analysed its polity and constructed theoretical models of the integration process. Yet it has been almost entirely neglected by analytic philosophers, and the philosophical tools that have been developed to
analyse and evaluate the Union are still in their infancy.
This book brings together legal philosophers, political philosophers, and EU legal academics in the service of developing the philosophical analysis of EU law. In a series of original and complementary essays they bring their varied disciplinary expertise and theoretical perspectives to bear on central issues facing the Union and its law. Combining both abstract thought in legal and political philosophy and more tangible theoretical work on specific legal issues, the essays in this volume make a significant contribution to developing work on the philosophical foundations of EU law, and will engender further debate between philosophers, political philosophers, and EU legal academics. They will be of interest
to all those engaged in understanding the nature and purpose of this unique legal entity.Readership: Academics and postgraduate students working in EU law, political philosophy, and European politics
