I should like to suggest that EU legal studies suffer from a disconnect with social reality. If we need a method, it is one that allows us to reconnect with European societies as a bustle of unsettled forms of life, from both an existential and social perspective. Departing from classic institutional and constitutional approaches to EU law, while endorsing the critical turn in the EU legal studies, I will argue in favour of a new “anti-transcendental” perspective.

Published online: 19 March 2024; This article belongs to the debate 'Controversies over methods in EU law'. Methodological issues pervade contemporary debates in EU law. The multiple crises that the European Union is experiencing are leading EU law scholars to question their classical conception of EU law – a law of integration – and their relationship to the European institutions. The blog posts collected in this symposium provide an overview of these ongoing methodological controversies. The current state of EU law can be seen as an exemplary site for reflection on legal methodology and, more generally, on the restructuring moments of a disciplinary field. This opens new perspectives for the challenges EU law – and its scholarship – face in the 21st century, from fundamental rights to external pressures.
