Why Study Philosophy of Law: Notes in Tribute to Bjarne Melkevik
Rafael Magdaleno
Abstrak
This article delves into Bjarne Melkevik’s arguments about the significance of studying the philosophy of law. It aims to address, first, what it means to philosophically consider the law and, second, the pivotal issues in contemporary legal thought. The key issues identified are the ontological question, the epistemological question, the issue of “ought to be,” and the question of Ethics and Law. In Bjarne Melkevik’s work, law is portrayed as “a collective and individual process of shaping wills and opinions, a process that is continuous and permanent.” In the context of legal modernity, the role of philosophical thought is to be a Companion, a ἀγωγός, guiding individuals through this process.
