Publisher Synopsis
Praise for the first edition: 'Mark Tebbit's new book is an intelligent and successful attempt to make legal philosophy attractive both to those who embrace it because it is inherently important and those who think it may gain them an edge in legal practice. It shows why philosophy is part of law ... It is a clearheaded, carefully framed study of many of the major moves in the discipline, as useful to advanced students as to beginners.' - Philosophical Books'The book is clear and well structured ... worthy of inclusion on the reading list of students interested in law and philosophy.' - Philosophers' Magazine'This book is cogently argued, stimulating and well-written. It can be confidently recommended to law students.' - Nottingham Law Journal Read more...
