Core evidentiary concepts and principles, such as the presumption of innocence, standards of proof, and others, reply on moral and political philosophy for their understanding and interpretation. \u003cbr\u003eWritten by leading scholars across the globe, this volume brings together philosophical debates on the nature and function of evidence, proof, and law of evidence. It presents a cross-disciplinary overview of central issues in the theory and methodology of legal evidence and covers a wide range of contemporary debates on topics such as truth, proof, economics, gender, and race. \u003cbr\u003eThe volume covers different theoretical approaches to legal evidence, including the Bayesian approach, scenario theory and inference to the best explanation.\u003cbr\u003eDivided in to five parts, Philosophical Foundations of Evidence Law, covers different theoretical approaches to legal evidence, including the Bayesian approach, scenario theory and inference to the best explanation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Dahlman is Professor of Jurisprudence at Lund University (Sweden) and holds the Samuel Pufendorf chair at the Faculty of Law.
