With over sixty cases as support, this text presents the philosophy
of law as a perpetual series of debates with overlapping lines and
cross connections. Using law as a focus to bring into relief many
social and political issues of pressing importance in contemporary
society, this book encourages readers to think critically and
philosophically. Classic Readings and Cases in the Philosophy of
Law centers on five major questions: What is law? What, if any,
connection must there be between law and morality? When should law
be used to restrict the liberty of individuals? To what extent
should democratic states permit civil disobedience? What, if
anything, justifies the infliction of punishment on those who
violate the law? The extensive anthology of cases covers the
mundane to the grandest of constitutional issues, including
controversial topics like ownership of genetic material, capital
punishment, and gay rights. Brief introductions to each case
describe the central issue being litigated, the legal reasoning of
the justices both majority and dissenting the decision of the
court, and its philosophical significance.
