The Centre for Philosophy of Law is a research entity of the Pole "Philosophy and Legal Theory" of the Institute for interdisciplinary research in Legal Sciences (JUR-I).
It coordinates research networks and projects at national level [IUAP VI/06] and at international level [EU REFGOV Project].
The core of the collective research carried out at the Centre for Philosophy of Law relates specifically to the theory of the norm, theory of social regulation and theory of governance.
It aims to look for an answer to the fundamental question: how should we understand the operation by which society regulates itself and acts upon itself by means of norms which it judges to be legitimate ? The Centre for Philosophy of Law conducts its research in developing them in four thematic fields:
- Theory of the norm
- Governance of public common goods and biodiversity [BIOGOV]
- Protection of fundamental rights [CRIDHO]
- Corporate governance.
Doctoral theses are supervised by members of the Centre for Philosophy of Law.
