The book explores the nature of legal reasoning by challenging the conventional view of rule-applying arguments as mere syllogisms. It emphasizes that legal rules are tools for structuring human interaction rather than mere descriptions of reality, leading to the conclusion that such arguments can be defeasible. An in-depth analysis of the interplay between rules, principles, and reasons is provided, along with a logical theory that highlights the importance of reasons for and against conclusions in legal contexts, offering a fresh perspective on legal analysis.

Exploring the intersection of law and logic, this work delves into the principles of legal reasoning and the application of logical analysis in legal contexts.

The book presents various case studies and theoretical discussions, making it a valuable resource for legal scholars, practitioners, and students interested in the foundational role of logic in the legal system.
