Abstract

In this reply, I address many of the comments raise by the four commentators of this symposium on my book The Making of Constitutional Democracy: From Creation to Application of Law. In particular, I defend the moderate cognitivism in legal interpretation developed in the book from the sharp critiques by each of the authors of the comments.

Keywords: Constitutional democracy, moderate cognitivism, legal realism, semantic minimalism, contextualism
