The concept of law lies at the heart of our social and political
life. Legal philosophy, or jurisprudence, explores the notion of
law and its role in society, illuminating its meaning and its
relation to the universal questions of justice, rights, and
morality. In this Very Short Introduction Raymond Wacks analyses
the nature and purpose of the legal system, and the practice by
courts, lawyers, and judges. Wacks reveals the intriguing and
challenging nature of legal philosophy with clarity and enthusiasm,
providing an enlightening guide to the central questions of legal
theory. In this revised edition Wacks makes a number of updates
including new material on legal realism, changes to the approach to
the analysis of law and legal theory, and updates to historical and
anthropological jurisprudence. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
