Readings in the Philosophy of Law, second edition
"This is an important collection for students and teachers seeking a sophisticated survey of the major traditions and topics in the philosophy of law." (Emilios Christodoulidis)"The second edition of Readings in the Philosophy of Law displays a fine balance between classic and contemporary readings, covering a broad range of topics. Each section begins with a well-informed, easy-to-read introduction, and ends with a very useful list of study questions and further readings. These should be of immense value to students and instructors alike. In short, Readings in the Philosophy of Law is a well-crafted, authoritative text, of ideal length and modest cost. Highly recommended." (Wil Waluchow)"Readings in the Philosophy of Law, second edition, is a very well-conceived text that permits students to engage challenging material in a stimulating fashion. It should prove valuable to teachers and students in a variety of disciplines." (Colin McLeod)"This is an excellent introduction to philosophy of law. The extracts are up-to-date, very wisely chosen, and long enough to be interesting, challenging, and valuable. The commentary is excellently clear and will be helpful to the beginning student. The commentary also shows the student why philosophy of law is important and interesting, and how, like all philosophy, it proceeds by dialogue. The commentary and the study questions serve to focus the mind on the key issues, and to make the student think about the soundness of the arguments on which the views are based, and, even more importantly, about which of them are true and in what ways they are true. Keith Culver is to be congratulated." (Anthony Lesser)
