Description
What is law? This question has puzzled philosophers for centuries. Scott Shapiro argues that it's not only meaningful but also vitally important to understanding our legal systems.
In Legality, Shapiro develops an original theory of law that challenges traditional views on the subject. He argues that laws are not just rules, but complex tools for creating and applying plans. This new perspective has profound implications for how we understand and practice law.
Written in clear language, Legality is a groundbreaking new theory of law that's also an excellent introduction to classical jurisprudence. It's a thought-provoking book that will appeal to anyone interested in understanding the nature of law and its role in society.
