Ross, Alf Loar, Brian, Editor.Directives and Norms. New York: Humanities Press, [1967]. ix, 188 pp. Reprint available April 2009 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 978-1-58477-961-2. ISBN-10: 1-58477-961-6. Cloth with dust jacket. $65.00 * Reprint of the first American edition. One of the most interesting jurists of the post-World War II era, Ross [1899-1979] was a legal and moral philosopher, scholar of international law and the leading representative of Scandinavian Legal Realism. This book and On Law and Justice (1958) are (...) his principal works. In Directives and Norms Ross asks whether imperatives (or, to use his term, 'directives') are subject to logic in the same way as indicatives. He shows the difference between indicative and directive discourse and explains the concepts 'directive' and 'norm' as they function in the social sciences, especially in the study of law. A contemporary essay in the Modern Law Review (32:544), though critical of this work, was still impressed by its "clear and convincing account" of these processes. (shrink) | |

Questo libro analizza la crisi dei fondamenti del diritto penale espressa dal profondo divario tra il sistema normativo delle garanzie e il funzionamento effettivo delle istituzioni punitive. Ne rintraccia le radici nella fragilità teorica del modello garantista tramandato dalla tradizione illuministica e nella concorrenza ad esso opposta, fin dal secolo scorso, dal continuo riemergere di archetipi penali premoderni e di mai spente tentazioni autoritarie. Illustra le forme molteplici d'illegittimità e d'ingiustizia prodotte dall'inadeguatezza o dalle lesioni delle singole garanzie. E propone, (...) di fronte alla crisi del modello, una sua rifondazione filosofica e politica nel quadro di una teoria generale del garantismo. La prefazione è a cura di Norberto Bobbio.
