Modern legal theory contains a wide range of approaches and topics:
from economic analysis of law to feminist legal theory to
traditional analytical legal philosophy to a range of theories
about justice. This healthy variety of jurisprudential work has
created a problem: students and theorists working in one tradition
may have difficulty understanding the concepts and terminology of a
different tradition. This book works to make terminology and ways
of thinking accessible.
This dictionary covers topics from the 'autonomy of law' to the
'will theory of rights', from 'autopoiesis' to 'wealth
maximization', and from 'John Austin' to 'Ludwig Wittgenstein'. The
most important concepts and ideas are presented in a simple
dictionary format. There are also many longer entries, where the
initial definition gives an accessible explanation, but the entry
goes on to give more detailed information about the history of an
idea and the debates currently surrounding it.
