• Resumen

  • This dissertation argues that the deadlock that constitutional courts find themselves in when justifying decisions on cases that involve conflicting constitutional norms can be best resolved by appealing to a particular type of reasons, namely opposable reasons.

    These opposable reasons form the basis for building a minimal account of law that can meaningfully claim a universal reach while being fully compatible with libertarian or anarchist ideals. This dissertation explores in depth concepts such as KANT’s obligationes non colliduntur principle, RAZ’s second-order reasons, RAWL’s reflective equilibrium, and SCANLON’s reasons for action so as to make the case in favour of opposable reasons.
