Peter Cserne (Aberdeen): "Meta-Theoretical Strategies in Private Law Theory"
Peter Cserne
Notes & Changes
Abstract: The paper's main goal is to present a taxonomy of meta-theoretical strategies in private law theory. Attempts to combine instrumental and intrinsic justifications, formal and substantive interpretations of private law doctrine span from the simplest reduction or division of labour to various types of integration. I propose four stages of combination, outline several possibilities, and provide brief examples from the literature for each stage. In addition to the typology, the study offers a limited defence of economic theories of private law against some objections.
Peter Cserne , reader in law at the University of Aberdeen, presents the third paper of Trinity Term 2023: "Meta-Theoretical Strategies in Private Law Theory".
