February 9-10, 2017
Tallinn University A-002
The idea of the conference is to discuss human rights moving from the work of one of the leading contemporary philosophers of law, Robert Alexy. Professor Alexy along three decades has been Ordinarius for public law and philosophy of law at the University of Kiel in Germany, developing an impressive jurisprudential opus that is now widely acknowledged as one of most powerful legal theories in the contemporary debate. In particular Alexy has devoted his work to three related issues, (i) legal argumentation, (ii) the concept of law, and (ii) human and fundamental rights.
