Description
Arguing About Law provides an accessible introduction to philosophy of law, covering topics such as jurisprudence, normative legal theory, and the theoretical foundations of public and private law. The reader includes a range of classic texts alongside non-traditional selections and discussions of contemporary issues like the war on terror. The editors offer clear introductions to each section, outlining the debate and summarising the arguments presented in the papers. This helps students grasp both established perspectives and emerging debates in areas such as the nature of law, legality, morality, and rights. Suitable for those new to philosophy of law, legal theory, and jurisprudence, Arguing About Law is a stimulating reader that encourages critical thinking and analysis.
