This workshop, part of the research project “Legal Language, Legal Hermeneutics and the Legitimacy of Legal Decisions” (JusLab/JusGov), proposes a reflection on the relationship between Philosophy of Language and Law, based on Wittgenstein’s philosophical reflection on rules, so that questions about meaning, general normativity and legal normativity, as well as other themes dear to Law, such as conventions, indeterminacy, interpretation and decision can also be discussed, in the context of the proposed reflection on rules. The workshop will bring together Professors Joana Aguiar e Silva (EDUM) and Ricardo de Macedo Menna Barreto (EDUM) and, as an external guest, professor, jurist and philosopher Cristóvão Atílio Viero (UFOB, Brazil).
