Legal Consciousness

This book is based on presentations and discussions at the special workshop “The concept of Legal Consciousness” held on July 7, 2022, in Bucharest, Romania, as part of thirtieth biennial World Congress of the International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR). The workshop was focused on the importance of this concept for legal theory, legal sociology, and legal psychology (“psychology and law”). The book consists of fourteen contributions divided into four thematic parts elaborating the following topics: concept of law, methodology of legal sciences, role of legal consciousness in legal theory and legal sociology, adjudication, constitutionalization, modification of the legal system, and the deliberate normative change.
