Ronald Dworkin occupies a distinctive place in both public life and
philosophy. In public life, he is a regular contributor to The New
York Review of Books and other widely read journals. In philosophy, he
has written important and influential works on many of the most
prominent issues in legal and political philosophy. In both cases, his
interventions have in part shaped the debates he joined. His
opposition to Robert Bork's nomination for the United States Supreme
Court gave new centrality to debates about the public role of judges
and the role of original intent in constitutional interpretation. His
writings in legal philosophy have reoriented the modern debate about
legal positivism and natural law. In political philosophy, he has
shaped the ways in which people debate the nature of equality and has
reframed debates about the sanctity of life.
