DESCRIPTION:La Chaire Oppenheimer en droit public international\, en collab
 oration avec la Revue de droit international & de pluralisme juridique de 
 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Inter Gentes\, est fière d'accueiller Jean d'Aspremont\, Professeur
  de droit public international à l'Université de Manchester.\n\nRésumé\n\n
 [En anglais seulement] In this conference\, Jean d’Aspremont will introduc
 e his book on ‘the mysticism of international legal argumentation’. Whethe
 r it is construed as a set of processes\, rules\, ideas\, discourses\, or 
 practices\, international law is being argued according to pre-reflective 
 structures. This book is intended as an intervention in the contemporary l
 egal debates about the pre-reflective structures of international legal ar
 gumentation. In particular\, it seeks to shed a new light on the pre-refle
 ctive structures of international legal argumentation by virtue of an orig
 inal descriptive and evaluative framework that distinguishes between the g
 ospels and the sacred texts of international law. This book does so in dis
 cussing some of the most central patterns of argumentative structures of i
 nternational law\, namely sources\, statehood\, ius cogens\, responsibilit
 y\, custom and the fundamental rights of states.\n\nApplied to contemporar
 y international legal argumentation this three-tier framework will help de
 monstrate that some resilient type of idealism lingers in international le
 gal argumentation and comes in the form of mysticism. By mysticism\, the c
 hapters of this book refer to the false genealogy that is established betw
 een some patterns of argumentative structures (gospels) and some authorita
 tive instruments (sacred texts) as well as the mainstream conceptualizatio
 n of such gospels as rules properly so-called. While offering reflections 
 on the enduring mystical character of international legal thought and prac
 tice\, this book will simultaneously argue that mysticism is an inextricab
 le component of international legal argumentation in that it is what makes
  international legal argumentation possible. Short of mysticism\, this boo
 k argues\, international lawyers would be unable to formulate internationa
 l legal arguments and battle with one another when interpreting and constr
 ucting the law and the world.\n\nLe conférencier\n\n[En anglais seulement]
