John Austin was a towering presence in nineteenth-century English
jurisprudence. He lived at the centre of the utilitarian movement
in London during the 1820s and 1830s, and became its leading
philosopher of law after Bentham's death (1832). Wilfrid E.
Rumble's book analyzes Austin's work in its historical context, and
shows how much of it remains viable today -- including his
conception of analytical jurisprudence, his sharp distinction
between law and morality, and his utilitarian theory of resistance
to government. The end result is a richer, more nuanced portrait of
Austin's legal philosophy than his twentieth-century critics have
painted. Doing Austin Justice thus fills a large gap in the
literature about this important figure. It will be of substantial
interest to jurists, historians of political philosophy, and of the
nineteenth century more generally.
