What are the aims of legal philosophy? Which questions should it
seek to address? How should legal philosophers approach and engage
with their subject-matter, and what constraints are incumbent on
them as they do so? What are the criteria of success of theories of
law, and how do we know if they have been met? Can there be
progress in legal philosophy? In Elucidating Law, Julie Dickson
addresses these and other questions concerning the methodology, or
the philosophy, of legal philosophy and offers her own distinctive
response to them. The book advocates that legal philosophers should
espouse an approach that Dickson terms 'Indirectly Evaluative Legal
Philosophy.' This distinctive approach can facilitate legal
philosophers' understanding of aspects of the nature of law, whilst
avoiding prematurely or inappropriately regarding law as inherently
morally valuable. Law is a powerful, systemic, and
institutionalized social tool. It should be understood in a manner
appropriate to its character.
