The Philosophy & Legal Theory Collaborative aims to create a forum to share and collaborate on research in philosophy of law, laws, or legal institutions, and legal scholarship engaged with philosophy, broadly construed.

This includes scholarship on philosophy of law generally, and on individual legal questions from all philosophical traditions (e.g. analytic, continental, non-western, critical theory).

This also includes political philosophy, political theory, moral philosophy, social epistemology, social ontology, moral psychology, metaethics, philosophy of action, decision theory, and history of thought on topics relevant to law or socio-legal topics.

It finally includes socio-legal scholarship that draws from work in philosophy, or that employs philosophical methods.

We hope to spark philosophically informed conversations on questions in law, politics and society – both the foundational and the highly specific. This includes classic debates in analytic jurisprudence, such as the relationship between legality and morality, to scholarship applying contemporary social ontology literature to doctrinal questions in contract law, and everything in between.
