On Law and Justice by Alf Ross (1899-1979) is a classic work of
twentieth-century legal philosophy. The first translation into
English was notably poor and abridged, and it misrepresented Ross's
views. Translated from scratch and in full length from the original
Danish, this new critical edition casts light on Ross's work and
resituates it firmly in the context of current debates in the
field. Ross was, in H.L.A. Hart's words, 'the most acute and
best-equipped philosopher' of Scandinavian legal realism. On Law
and Justice provides a comprehensive outline of his legal realist
position, offering a consistently empirical research programme that
simultaneously recognizes the distinctly normative character of
law. Ross's legal realism avoids the standard critiques against
behaviourist reductionism while still remaining categorically
distinct from legal positivism and natural law. This new edition
features an introduction by Jakob v. H. Holtermann, clarifying
Ross's general philosophical project and detailing the
sophisticated dual distinction between internal and external
aspects of law that provides a counterpoint to Hart's celebrated
analysis. This new translation will allow readers to appreciate
Ross's insights into the ongoing empirical turn in legal
scholarship and related attempts to associate legal realism with
broader philosophical trends.
