Introduces readers to basic analytical and normative issues in philosophy of law.
Highlights key historical and contemporary thinkers who have shaped the discourse.
Provides a unified treatment of the various issues in the philosophy of law.
Enlivened with numerous, everyday examples to illustrate various concepts of law.
Employs the idea of three central commonplaces about law - that law is a social matter, that law is authoritative, and that law is for the common good - to organize seemingly disparate topics and to bring rival views into contention with each other.
The first volume in the Fundamentals of Philosophy series, in which leading philosophers explore the fundamental issues and core problems in the major sub-disciplines of philosophy.
