Reviews

-Winfield's illuminating study provides a genuine alternative to the reigning theories and approaches in the philosophy of law. His unique perspective is bound to provoke thoughtful debate and advance our understanding of the subject. A well written and welcome addition to the field.---Robert Berman, author of Categorical Justification: Normative Argumentation in Hegel's Practical Philosophy -Winfield's theses are ambitious, challenging, and provocative. His work merits and rewards a close study and should be a welcome addition to the collection of every philosopher of law.---Raymond Belliotti, author of Justifying Law: The Debate over Foundations, Goals, and Methods and Good Sex: Perspectives on Sexual Ethics -An outstanding and important work at the cutting edge of modern scholarship. Winfield's work has the same timbre and role in legal theory as Rawls's work has in the philosophic investigation of justice. It is the book Hegel would have written had he lived in the 1990s, knowing what we know about the political effort of state socialist regimes and the intellectual effort of the American legal realists to do away with the rule of law. It will be tremendously useful for graduate programs in political science, courses in legal theory and jurisprudence in law schools, and undergraduate seminars in modern political and legal thought.---Arthur Jacobson, Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University
