Lecturer(s): Contact email address: Nico Weber Nico.weber@eui.eu Brief description This seminar provides students with an overview of foundational authors whose texts left a mark on international legal scholarship. It centres on the question of what type of international order the authors identified and the place they accorded to international law in relation to the domestic sphere, politics, and history. The readings try to understand the author’s thought as a whole to uncover their epistemic and normative commitments and analyse how they fit into their respective historical contexts. Participants will improve their analytical skills, philosophical and theoretical literacy and ability to contextualise contemporary legal debates against the backdrop of canonical authors.
