Sub editorial : overcoming temptation?

Abstract

This timely and stimulating symposium issue is the final result of what started as a few days of intense debate over the question, 'How do we know what is true in the field of law?', which took place at a workshop in June 2022 at the European University Institute in Florence. In addressing this question, the different interventions, three of which have ended up in this issue, situated themselves within a broader context of increasing theoretical and methodological turmoil in legal scholarship over the last couple of decades.
