Inhaltsangabe

In twelve brief chapters, George Fletcher, a renowned legal theorist, offers an interesting and accessible introduction to the major issues in legal philosophy, including such topics as morality, justice, desert, consent, duty, and feminist legal theory. In each case he not only introduces the basic ideas but considers important arguments in contemporary literature and raises provocative original claims of his own.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In contemporary American society, law has nearly achieved the status of civil religion. Legal issues pervade many aspects of daily life; the media report aggressively on trials, pending legislation, and new decisions by the courts. Legally trained executives now run major motion picture studios, corporations, and universities. They speak to each other in the language of jurisprudence. Understanding the law today is an important aspect of literacy in American culture.
