ABSTRACT
The term ‘legisprudence’, as I have developed it, is in essence a reframing of the term ‘jurisprudence’. Jurisprudence is generally taken to mean legal theory or philosophy of law. The basic issue of jurisprudence is to provide theoretical insights into the judge’s dealing with law, the possibilities, and limitations of a science of law, and so on. The latter is mainly conceived of as legal dogmatics. From the broader point of view, it also includes philosophical questions, like ‘the nature of the law’, the relationship between law and morality, and so on.
