Land Law
By
Kevin J. Gray, Susan Francis Gray
Description
H L A Hart\\\\\\\'s The Concept of Law is the
classic text for the study of jurisprudence and legal philosophy and
is probably the most important work of legal philosophy written this
century.
This second edition is particularly
valuable as it combines Hart\\\\\\\'s original text with a postscript, in
which he responds to criticisms of his theory levelled by such
notable scholars as Dworkin, Fuller and Finnis. Written by him but
only discovered after his death, it has been ably edited by Joseph
Raz and Penelope Bulloch of Balliol College, Oxford.
Readership: Scholars and
students of law and legal philosophy and political theory.
