The essays in this volume are all concerned with the arguments
about law as a system of rule-based decision-making,particularly
the ideas advanced by legal philosopher Frederick Schauer.
Schauer's work has not only helped revive interest in legal
formalism but has also helped relocate arguments about the
relationship between posited rules and morality. The contributors
to this volume, themselves distinguished theorists, have
concentrated on three aspects of Schauer's work: the nature of
jurisprudential description; his theory of presumptive positivism;
and the application of his theory of rule-based decision-making to
other areas of legal and moral thought. Contributors: Larry
Alexander, Brian Bix, Philip Bobbitt, Marianne Constable, Michael
C. Dorf, Jeremy Elkins, Claire Oakes Finkelstein, Leo Katz, Jason
Johnston, Dennis Patterson.
