Beskrivning
The philosophy of law - inquiry into the origins, nature and theory of laws and legal principles, and those concepts that structure the practice of law - is of great importance in moral and political philosophy, as well as being a major area of philosophical concern in its own right. Clear, concise and comprehensive, this is the ideal introduction to the philosophy of law for those studying it for the first time. Drawing upon both the analytic Anglo-American and Continental schools of philosophy, Law: Key Concepts in Philosophy summarises the work of key thinkers in the philosophy of law, including Rousseau, Hobbes, Austin, Hegel, Mill, Marx, Dworkin and Rawls. It provides lucid and thorough explication and analysis of central concerns in legal philosophy, covering criminal law, civil law and constitutional law. Finally, the text also addresses key issues in contemporary philosophy of law, including human rights, international law and questions of race and gender.

Recensioner i media

"This is an essential text for philosophy students, pre-law students, and for students in their first year of law school. In its seven chapters, this volume offers thoughtful reflections on such topics as the concept of law, law and morality, constitutional law, crime and punishment, blind justice and the debate between equal protection under the law and freedom of speech, private law and the limits of economic rationality, and concludes challenges...The author has produced a much-needed resource that by its nature is complex and unwieldy. Clearly written, concise, and comprehensive, the author's approach is a case-oriented and problem-solving one that greatly benefits the student who is charged with exploring the nuances in the competing points of view."
