Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
In this revised edition, two distinguished philosophers have extended and strengthened the most authoritative text available on the philosophy of law and jurisprudence. While retaining their comprehensive coverage of classical and modern theory, Murphy and Coleman have added new discussions of the Critical Legal Studies movement and feminist jurisprudence, and they have strengthened their treatment of natural law theory, criminalization, and the law of torts. The chapter on law and economics remains the best short introduction to that difficult, controversial, and influential topic.

4 out of 5 stars A great start to a wonderful subject   November 18, 2001
11 out of 13 found this review helpful

This book will walk you through, painlessly, the marvels of one of Law's most interesting subject, Jurisprudence or Philosophy of Law. It focuses on the most important contributions on the matter by: Dworkin, Hart, as well as others. It's also great for a quick review on the subject or a brief introduction. Well written, a breeze to read.
