Buch Details

The most important work in jurisprudence since H. L. .A. Hart's The Concept of Law and, from a philosophical point of view at least, the most sophisticated contribution to that subject yet made by an American writer... Dworkin's essays are brilliantly written ... [T]he book is remarkable in its unity and technical assurance. The New York Review of Books It is a rare treat --important, original philosophy that is also a pleasure to read. Dworkin argues vigorously, imaginatively and elegantly. The Yale Law Review In a series of beautifully written, mutually supportive essays, Dworkin applies the theory of rights or his own version of the theory to the case of judicial decision-making. The New Republic The most significant book oil philosophy of law in this decade and surely one of the more interesting ones of the century. Ethics Dworkin's writing launches a frontal attack on the two concepts, utilitarianism and legal positivism, that have dominated Anglo-American jurisprudence in the 20th century... Dworkins theories have created shock waves among jurisprudential scholars. Time Magazine
