Recenzje

'Larry Alexander is a legal theorist of great range and depth, who over the last half-century has made path-breaking and challenging contributions within criminal law, free speech theory, constitutional interpretation, jurisprudence, and moral philosophy. This volume of critical and celebratory essays is at once a tribute to this great scholar, and an atlas for the vast territory of Larry's work.' Matthew D. Adler, Richard A. Horvitz Professor of Law, Duke University, North Carolina
