Se uma s\u00f3lida curiosidade filos\u00f3fica sobre o que poder\u00e1 levar o legislador (que se presume racional e eticamente correto) a empregar palavras vagas na reda\u00e7\u00e3o de normas o levou a este livro, n\u00e3o ficar\u00e1 desapontado. O livro debru\u00e7a-se longamente sobre quest\u00f5es como “\u00e9 bom ter palavras vagas em textos normativos”; “que raz\u00f5es podem estar por detr\u00e1s da utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o de termos vagos na lei”; “o que \u00e9 que o legislador est\u00e1 a tentar alcan\u00e7ar”; “que fun\u00e7\u00e3o poder\u00e1 a utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o de termos vagos estar a servir na lei”; “esta fun\u00e7\u00e3o varia entre diferentes \u00e1reas jur\u00eddicas” e assim por diante. Se, no entanto, numa perspetiva mais te\u00f3rica (t\u00e9cnica) jur\u00eddica, se procura uma compreens\u00e3o aprofundada de como reconhecer a imprecis\u00e3o e as suas causas, nomeadamente em compara\u00e7\u00e3o com indetermina\u00e7\u00f5es lingu\u00edsticas e normativas conexas e quais s\u00e3o, em termos de discricionariedade, as consequ\u00eancias concretas de termos vagos em textos normativos, ent\u00e3o talvez seja melhor deix\u00e1-lo de lado.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"imagem-da-publicacao":"https:\/\/lisbonpubliclaw.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Ana-Escher.png","areas-de-investigacao":"Teoria do Direito","investigador-responsavel":[],"editor-externo":"","editor":["1811"],"autores-externos":"","referencia-biografica":"Ana Escher (2021) The nature and value of vagueness in the law, Jurisprudence, 12:4, 612-619","projeto-a-que-pertence":"Lisbon Legal Theory","selecionar_o_projeto_a_que_pertence":[],"titulo-do-livro-revista":"","ano":"2021","isbn":"9781849466066","editora":"Routledge","link-para-download":"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/20403313.2021.2015181"},"cluster":[34],"categoria-da-publicacao":[38],"grupo-de-investigacao":[13],"class_list":["post-3380","publicacoes","type-publicacoes","status-publish","hentry","cluster-lisbon-legal-theory","categoria-da-publicacao-artigo","grupo-de-investigacao-teoria-e-filosofia-do-direito"],"yoast_head":"\nThe nature and value of vagueness in the law - Lisbon Public Law<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If a sound philosophical curiosity as to what might possibly drive the (presumed to be rational and ethically sound) lawmaker to employ vague words in normative drafting brought you to this book, you will not be disappointed.
