During the last half of the twentieth century, legal philosophy (or
legal theory or jurisprudence) has grown significantly. It is no
longer the domain of a few isolated scholars in law and philosophy.
Hundreds of scholars from diverse fields attend international
meetings on the subject. In some universities, large lecture
courses of five hundred students or more study it. The primary aim
of the Law and Philosophy Library is to present some of the best
original work on legal philosophy from both the Anglo-American and
European traditions. Not only does it help make some of the best
work avail able to an international audience, but it also
encourages increased awareness of, and interaction between, the two
major traditions. The primary focus is on full-length scholarly
monographs, although some edited volumes of original papers are
also included. The Library editors are assisted by an Editorial
Advisory Board of internationally renowned scholars. Legal
philosophy should not be considered a narrowly circumscribed field.
Insights into law and legal institutions can come from diverse
disciplines on a wide range of topics. Among the relevant
disciplines or perspectives con tributing to legal philosophy,
besides law and philosophy, are anthropology, economics, political
science, and sociology. Among the topics included in legal
philosophy are theories of law; the concepts of law and legal
institutions; legal reasoning and adjudication; epistemological
issues of evidence and pro cedure; law and justice, economics,
politics, or morality; legal ethics; and theories oflegal fields
such as criminal law, contracts, and property."
