Edited by a leading scholar in the field, Philosophy of Law is a
new title in the Routledge Major Works series Critical Concepts in
Philosophy. It is a four-volume collection of canonical and
cutting-edge research and covers a significant range of topics in
the field. The first two volumes of the collection are devoted
primarily to analytical legal theory-in particular, theories about
the nature of law. This is the idea of legal philosophy most
familiar to jurisprudential students in the English-speaking world,
and many of the civil-law countries. The last two volumes sample
schools and theorists who mostly come from outside the analytical
tradition, and who are, in one sense or another, critical
theorists-theorists more interested in offering systematic
critiques of law or general prescriptions. The four volumes of the
collection are divided into six parts. Part one brings together key
work on the methodology of analytical philosophy and Part two
collects the most important scholarship on forms of legal
positivism, including material in the Austin-Hart tradition,
'inclusive vs. exclusive legal positivism' and Kelsenian legal
positivism. Part three ('Critics of Legal Positivism') gathers
material in the natural-law tradition; the work and influence of
Lon Fuller and Ronald Dworkin are also fully explored here. Parts
four to six are an assembly of the best and most important thinking
by and about normative and critical theorists working outside the
analytical tradition. Part four gathers material under the rubric
of legal realism, exploring both the American and Scandinavian
schools as well as their predecessors. Part five examines one of
the most influential movements in modern legal theory and legal
practice: known as 'law and economics' or the 'economic analysis of
law', this approach has come to dominate American scholarship, and
its role is growing in other countries too. Finally, part six makes
available key research on a variety of critical theories of law
that have grown up around systematic critiques of Western legal
systems. Included here is work by the American legal realists, as
well as work by feminists and scholars pursuing critical race
theory. The intersection of law and literature is also examined, as
are other approaches to law and legal theory: Habermas's
'proceduralist paradigm'; the concept of 'autopoiesis'; and the
work of Rorty and Fish. This Routledge Major Work illustrates the
many ways in which philosophical methods and theories have been
used to explore aspects of law and legal practice, and with a
comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which
places the collected material in its historical and intellectual
context, Philosophy of Law is an essential collection destined to
be valued by scholars and students as a vital research resource.
