Sociological Approaches to Theories of Law applies empirical
insights to examine theories of law proffered by analytical
jurisprudents. The topics covered include artifact legal theory,
law as a social construction, idealized accounts of the function of
law, the dis-embeddeness of legal systems, the purported guidance
function of law, the false social efficacy thesis, missteps in the
quest to answer 'What is law?', and the relationship between
empiricism and analytical jurisprudence. The analysis shows that on
a number of central issues analytical jurisprudents assert
positions inconsistent with the social reality of law. Woven
throughout the text, the author presents a theoretically and
empirically informed account of law as a social institution. The
overarching theme is that philosophical claims about the nature of
law can be tested and improved through greater empirical input.
