Description
The third edition of Jurisprudence offers a comprehensive overview of legal theory and philosophy. Written primarily for undergraduate students, it examines the discipline's major ideas and promotes a richer understanding of the law's social, moral and economic dimensions.
By locating the major traditions of jurisprudence within the history of ideas, Suri Ratnapala deepens students' understanding of the perennial debates about the nature and function of law and its relation to justice. The book has been fully revised and updated with new materials on all topics.
This is a key text for students and researchers of jurisprudence and legal theory, providing a well-researched and accessible introduction to the subject.
