Reviews
Overall, what may be gathered from this volume is a sense of the current state of analytical legal philosophy, as the collection samples works from some of the best theorists now writing in this area, both established names and up-and-coming younger scholars. In sharp contrast with critics' accusations that analytical legal theory today consists only of dry scholastic debates over trivial claims and distinctions, this volume displays lively, wide-ranging, and sophisticated arguments. There is every reason to be impressed with the present, and the future, of this approach to legal theory. * Brian Bix, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews * The essays are of high quality and confront important issues in contemporary jurisprudence. * George Duke, Jurisprudence *
