In modern times the idea of the objectivity of law has been
undermined by skepticism about legal institutions, disbelief in
ideals of unbiased evaluation, and a conviction that language is
indeterminate. Greenawalt here considers the validity of such
skepticism, examining such questions as: whether the law as it
exists provides determinate answers to legal problems; whether the
law should treat people in an "objective way," according to
abstract rules, general categories, and external consequences; and
how far the law is anchored in something external to itself, such
as social morality, political justice, or economic efficiency. In
the process he illuminates the development of jurisprudence in the
English-speaking world over the last fifty years, assessing the
contributions of many important movements.
