This is a gedenkshrift to one of Scotland's most prominent jurists.
This book analyses in depth the distinctively Scottish themes in
the life and work of Sir Neil MacCormick, the world-renowned legal
philosopher and prominent Scottish public intellectual, whose life
combined to a remarkable degree both academic accomplishment and
political engagement in Scotland and Europe. A number of leading
authors from Edinburgh and beyond reflect on his legacy and
reconsider many of the questions he posed. The contributions cover
the influence of MacCormick's Scottish background on his writings,
his fascination with the Scottish Enlightenment, the character of
law in general and the particular character of Scots law and the
Scottish legal system, the place of nationalism and the prospects
of independence in a post-sovereign world, and the special role of
the public intellectual in Scottish life, as exemplified by
MacCormick himself. The collection also contains a first
comprehensive bibliography of MacCormick's writings.
