Description
The book introduces the foundations of legal philosophy by guiding students, feminist theory, law and economics, hermeneutics, postmodernism, and more—while consistently relating them to Philippine jurisprudence and constitutional issues. Naval begins with a compelling arguments against the isolationist view of law as a closed, self-contained discipline, asserting that law must always be situated within the broader moral, conceptual, and social contexts that philosophy provides. His approach is particularly powerful for Filipino readers, as it incorporated local judicial doctrines, Supreme Court rulings, and indigenous philosophical frameworks into the global philosophical canon.
