An introduction to the philosophy of law, which offers a modern and
critical appraisal of all the main issues and problems. This has
become a very active area in the last ten years, and one on which
philosophers, legal practitioners and theorists and social scientists
have tended to converge. The more abstract questions about the nature
of law and its relationship to social norms and moral standards are
now seen to be directly relevant to more practical and indeed pressing
questions about the justification of punishment, civil disobedience,
the enforcement of morality, and problems about justice, rights,
welfare, and freedom. David Lyons is a shrewd, clear and systematic
guide through this tangled area. The book presupposes no formal
training in law or philosophy and is intended to serve as a textbook
in a range of introductory courses.
