This book offers an advanced introduction to central questions in
legal philosophy. What factors determine the content of the law in
force? What makes a normative system a legal system? How does law
beyond the state differ from domestic law? What kind of moral force
does law have? The most important existing views are introduced, but
the aim is not to survey the existing literature. Rather, this book
introduces the subject by stepping back from the fray to sketch the
big picture, to show just what is at stake in these old debates. Legal
philosophy has become somewhat arid and inward looking. In part this
is because the disagreement between the main camps on the important
questions is apparently intractable. The main aim of the book is to
suggest both a diagnosis and a proper practical response to this
situation of intractable disagreement about questions that do matter.
