    Constitutional Interpretation, Intelligent Fidelity, and (im)Perfection: on James E. Fleming’s Fidelity to our Imperfect Constitution.Imer B. Flores - 2017 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (11).
    In this Article, I assess James E. Fleming’s Fidelity to Our Imperfect Constitution. For Moral Readings and Against Originalisms. For that purpose: in Part II, I reexamine Ronald Dworkin’s “moral reading”; in Part III, I reevaluate Fleming’s argument both “for moral readings and against originalisms”, which can be characterized as “fidelity to our imperfect constitution”; in part IV, I explicit three very helpful dichotomies to distinguish between moral readings, originalisms and legal pragmatism aka living constitutionalism: (1) fidelity and anti-fidelity; (2) (...)

    H. L. A. Hart's Moderate Indeterminacy Thesis Reconsidered: In Between Scylla and Charybdis?Imer B. Flores - 2011 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (5):147-173.
    In this article the author, in the context of the fiftieth anniversary of H. L. A. Hart’s The Concept of Law, reconsiders the moderate indeterminacy of law thesis, which derives from the open texture of language. For that purpose, he intends: first, to analyze Hart’s moderate indeterminacy thesis, i.e. determinacy in “easy cases” and indeterminacy in “hard cases”, which resembles Aristotle’s “doctrine of the mean”; second, to criticize his moderate indeterminacy thesis as failing to embody the virtues of a center (...)

    Legisprudence: the Forms and Limits of Legislation.Imer B. Flores - 2007 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (1):247-266.
    In this article the author claims that the absence of a an adequate explanation of legislation within legal theory, jointly with the lack of legislators and of legislatures in jurisprudential discourse, creates —and reinforces— the presumption that adjudication, judges, and courts are central to the understanding of law. Hence, he intends not only to rebalance the relationship between legislation and adjudication, by requiring that both meet the same standards of coherence and consistency, predictability and acceptability, rationality and objectivity, but also (...)

    Natalie Stoljar's Wishful Thinking and One Step Beyond: What Should Conceptual Legal Analysis Become?Imer B. Flores - 2012 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (6):81-105.
    Praising wishful thinking is a serious risk that I am willing to run not only in this article commenting of Natalie Stoljar’s work but also elsewhere in my own scholarship. Although I will analyze her claims and will agree mostly with them, I will criticize her for stopping one step short adopting the desirability or weaker claim, when in it is not merely possible but necessary to go one step beyond arguing for the necessity or stronger claim. Accordingly, I intend (...)

    Proportionality in Constitutional and Human Rights Interpretation.Imer B. Flores - 2013 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (7):83-113.
    In this article the author, in a context in which principles and the principle of proportionality are at the heart not only of jurisprudence but also of constitutional and human rights interpretation, claims that when there were those ready to raise the hand to declare a unanimous winner, some critics and skeptics appeared. In addition, to the traditional objections, they worry that proportionality invites to doing unnecessary balancing between existing rights, inventing new rights out of nothing at all (in detriment (...)

    Ronald Dworkin's Justice for Hedgehogs and Partnership Conception of Democracy (With a Comment to Jeremy Waldron's "A Majority in the Lifeboat").Imer B. Flores - 2010 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (4):65-103.
    In this article the author focuses mainly in the last part of Ronald Dworkin´s Justice for Hedgehogs and in his argument for a partnership conception of democracy. For that purpose, first, he recalls some of the main features that Dworkin had advanced in previous but intrinsically related works, about political morality, equality and democracy; second, he reassess the arguments for a partnership conception of democracy; third, he reconsiders the resistance produced by Jeremy Waldron in his “A Majority in the Lifeboat” (...)

    The Living Tree: Fixity and Flexibility a General Theory of (Judicial Review in a) Constitutional Democracy?Imer B. Flores - 2008 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (2):285-305.
    In this article the author aims to assess Wilfrid J. Waluchow’s more recent book, by depicting its main aim, namely to provide a better understanding of judicial review in a constitutional democracy via the “living tree” metaphor; by disapproving an unwarranted claim, purposely to reduce the metaphor to the common law (bottom-up) methodology; and by re-developing his alternative, specifically to identify the community’s constitutional political morality, with a friendly amendment, which is already explicit —or at least somehow implicit— on it, (...)

    The Living Tree Constitutionalism: Fixity and Flexibility.Imer B. Flores - 2009 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (3):37-74.
    In this article the author claims that Waluchow’s “living tree constitutionalism” constitutes a “copernican revolution in our thinking”, because it provides not a mere common law theory of judicial review but a general theory of judicial review and of constitutional democracy. Although agrees that something like the common law methodology is at play here, disagrees on characterizing it as bottom-up. Accordingly, intends to praise the main aspiration of A Common Law Theory of Judicial Review: The Living Tree, i.e. to provide (...)

  14. Una visita a Hans Kelsen en México.Imer B. Flores - 2014 - Problema. Anuario de Filosofía y Teoria Del Derecho 1 (8):53-94.
    Revisiting the influence of Hans Kelsen in Mexico requires a revision not only of his visits to Mexico and of the Mexicans to him, but also the different accounts of his thought that exist in Mexico. Hence, we commence by remembering his visits to Mexico —from the cancelled to the consummated, including a endless lists of invitations to visit the country; we continue with the visits of the Mexicans to Kelsen; and we conclude with a visit to Kelsen in Mexico, (...)

Flores & Gülriz Uygur (eds.) - 2010 - Franz Steiner.
    This book's aims are to determine the importance of legal philosophy in legal education and in addition to develop alternative methods for teaching law in general and the philosophy of law in particular. In this context, the individual essays in this volume discuss the alternatives and tendencies in the quest for an adequate model of teaching and learning jurisprudence. Common to all of them is a commitment to the necessary integration of theoretical and practical knowledge, of traditional case and lecture (...)
