Philosophy of Law: An Introduction

Philosophy of Law: An Introduction provides an ideal starting-point for students of philosophy and law. Setting it clearly against the historical background, Mark Tebbit quickly leads readers into the heart of the philosophical questions that dominate philosophy of law today. He provides an exceptionally wide-ranging overview of the contending theories that have sought to resolve these problems. He does so without assuming prior knowledge either of philosophy or law on the part of the reader. This new third edition has been updated and extended again to include assessments of important developments in philosophy and law in the early years of the 21st century.
