The Pluralistic Universe of Law: Towards a Neo-Classical Legal PragmatismSusan HaackUniversity of Miami - School of Law; University of Miami - Department of Philosophy Ratio Juris, Vol. 21, No. 4, pp. 453-80, 2008 University of Miami Legal Studies Research Paper No. 2008-25 Abstract: After a brief sketch of the history of philosophical pragmatism generally, and of legal pragmatism specifically (section 1), this paper develops a new, neo-classical legal pragmatism: a theory of law drawing in part on Holmes, but also on ideas from the classical pragmatist tradition in philosophy. Main themes are the "pluralistic universe" of law (section 2); the evolution of legal systems (section 3); the place of logic in the law (section 4); and the relation of law and morality (section 5).
