This challenging book on jurisprudence begins by posing questions
in the post-modern context,and then seeks to bridge the gap between
our traditions and contemporary situation. It offers a narrative
encompassing the birth of western philosophy in the Greeks and
moves through medieval Christendom, Hobbes, the defence of the
common law with David Hume, the beginnings of utilitarianism in
Adam Smith, Bentham and John Stuart Mill, the hope for
enlightenment with Kant, Rousseau, Hegel and Marx, onto the more
pessimistic warnings of Weber and Nietzsche. It defends the work of
Austin against the reductionism of HLA Hart, analyses the period of
high modernity in the writings of Kelsen, Hart and Fuller, and
compares the different approaches to justice of Rawls and Nozick.
The liberal defence of legality in Ronald Dworkin is contrasted
with the more disillusioned accounts of the critical legal studies
movement and the personalised accounts of prominent feminist
writers.
