In "Philosophy of Law," Andrei Marmor provides a comprehensive
analysis of contemporary debates about the fundamental nature of
law--an issue that has been at the heart of legal philosophy for
centuries. What the law is seems to be a matter of fact, but this
fact has normative significance: it tells people what they ought to
do. Marmor argues that the myriad questions raised by the factual
and normative features of law actually depend on the possibility of
reduction--whether the legal domain can be explained in terms of
something else, more foundational in nature.
In addition to exploring the major issues in contemporary legal
thought, "Philosophy of Law" provides a critical analysis of the
people and ideas that have dominated the field in past centuries.
It will be essential reading for anyone curious about the nature of
law.
