The ALF Project is thrilled to announce the release of the latest episode of the Heavily Accented Philosophy of Law Podcast (Episode 7) titled “The Debate on Rules and Principles, Genericity and Categorisation”. In this episode, Professor Pedro Moniz Lopes from the ALF partner institution – University of Lisbon (Lisbon Public Law Research Centre – Lisbon Legal Theory) explores the enduring debate in legal theory between rules and principles. The discussion addresses whether this distinction is merely terminological or reflects a more profound conceptual divergence, examines the significance of genericity in legal categorization, and analyzes the relationship between equality and analogy within this theoretical framework.
