Regular monthly seminars to which we invite leading experts in philosophy and theories of law whose research is closely connected to the problems considered by the group members. The topics include, but are not limited to:
• the nature of the concept of law and different legal concepts
• the meaning of the language of law
• what does it mean to understand law and how does the meaning differ from the understanding of everyday discourse
• the nature and legal ramifications of lying
• the semantics of proper names (informed by the use of institutional names in law)
• the nature of social meanings (i.e. semiotic contents attached to various social actions, statuses, resources, and situations)
• the possibility of ascribing intentional states to institutions (such as corporations, courts or parliaments)
• metaphysics of social and legal entities
• the nature of social kinds
