Peter Suber Livres

Set in the year 4,300, a group of explorers faces moral and legal dilemmas after being trapped in a cave, leading them to cannibalize a teammate for survival. Upon rescue, five Supreme Court judges deliberate their fate, showcasing diverse legal perspectives. Peter Suber enriches the discussion with nine additional opinions reflecting feminist, communitarian, economic, constructionist, and postmodern theories of law. The book also features the original article by Lon Fuller, making it a significant resource for legal education and debate.

The first full-length study of self-reference and paradox in law, this book will intrigue and instruct anyone interested in law, logic, philosophy, or political theory. History shows that self-amendment - for example, the use of a constitution's amending clause to amend itself - is commonplace; legal analysis shows it to be lawful, even if (as some logicians have alleged) it is self-contradictory; and philosophical analysis shows it to be foundational for legality. The lawfulness of self-amendment, therefore, sheds important light on legal reasoning and rationality, and shows that we no longer need accept the immutability of any level of law.

A concise introduction to the basics of open access, describing what it is (and isn't) and showing that it is easy, fast, inexpensive, legal, and beneficial.
