Philosophy of Law : An Introduction

Philosophy of Law : An Introduction

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Philosophy of Law is an ideal introduction to this vital topic. Assuming no prior knowledge of philosophy or law, Mark Tebbit eases readers into the most fundamental theories of law and links them to the most prevalent philosophical questions encountered in legal studies. The book is clearly structured around key issues and themes including: the meaning of law; legal and moral rights; responsibility and guilt; insanity and diminished responsibility; and theories of punishment. Throughout, Tebbit links classical problems posed by such thinkers as Hume, Bentham, Mill and Austin to issues discussed by more recent theorists like Hart, Rawls and Dworkin. All the major theories of law are lucidly discussed with the non-specialist in mind.
