Description
Legal Theory explores fundamental questions about law and its role in society. It examines why some rules have the status of law while others do not, and considers whether justice can be achieved through adherence to laws that may be unjust.
The book discusses topical issues such as animal rights and assisted suicide, and delves into the answers given by legal theorists from Ancient Greece to the present day. This thought-provoking work provides insight into the nature of law and its relationship with individual freedom.
