The Philosophy of Law (Oxford Readings in Philosophy)

About this book

Echoing the debate about the nature of law that has dominated legal philosophy for several decades this volume includes essays on the nature of law and on law not as it is but as it should be. Wherever possible essays have been chosen that have provoked direct responses from other legal philosophers and in two cases these responses are included. Contributors include H.L.A. Hart R.M. Dworkin Lord Patrick Devlin John Rawls J.J. Thomson J. Finnis and T.M. Scanlon.
