Title: Postmodern philosophy and law
First published: 1997
Description: This book offers a critical introduction to writings on law by key postmodern philosophers - Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, and Rorty - and articulates the strengths and weaknesses of postmodern legal theory.

Postmodern Philosophy and Law bridges the gap between Anglo-American jurisprudence and postmodern theory by discussing not only traditional approaches such as natural law theory and legal positivism but also continental philosophy and critical legal studies. It is the first book to expound and critique postmodern legal theory and its ramifications for a mainstream audience of legal scholars and philosophers.
