Readings in the Philosophy of Law

Readings in the Philosophy of Law brings together central texts on such topics as legal reasoning, the  limits of individual liberty, responsibility and punishment, and  international law. The included selections provide superb coverage of  both classic and contemporary views, and are edited only lightly to  allow readers to grapple with arguments in their original form. Culver  and Giudice’s clear, accessible introductions discuss key terms, claims,  issues, and points of connection and disagreement. Readings are placed  within their historical and social contexts, with analogies and examples  emphasizing the continuing relevance of the arguments at issue. This  third edition is updated to take account of the rise of legal pluralism,  debates over judicial review of constitutional rights, anti-terrorism  laws, hate crime, and non-state law at both regional and global levels.
