Abstract
The course examines the methodological foundations of legal science and canon law as two normative disciplines with intertwined histories and distinct logics of validity. Students study the main approaches to legal cognition, from legal positivism and natural law theory to hermeneutics and systems theory, and apply them to the specific material of church law.
