Omschrijving
Although coherence theories of law and adjudication have, recently, been extremely influential in legal scholarship and have significantly advanced the case for coherentism in law, a number of problems remain. This, the first concerted attempt to develop a coherence-based theory of legal reasoning, addresses, or at least mitigates these problems.
The conceptual relationship between justice and coherence makes the examination of the latter a pressing need... Amaya features extensive and in depth critical analysis of the issue under discussion... Undoubtedly, legal theorists have much to learn from Amaya's monograph.
