Opis

Jules Coleman, one of the world's most influential philosophers of law here expounds his recent views on a range of important issues in legal theory. Coleman offers for the first time an explicit account of the pragmatist method that has long informed his work, and takes on the views of highly respected contemporaries such as Ronald Dworkin and Joseph Raz.

Recenzje

Review from previous edition ... an illuminating and enthralling read ... Among other virtues, The Practice of Principle presents perhaps the most developed statement of inclusive legal positivism to date. In doing so, it advances our understanding not only of that position, but also of the various positions arrayed against it.
