Law and Philosophy
By
Michael Freeman and Ross Harrison
Description
- The latest volume in the established Current Legal Issues series, which brings together leading scholars from around the world to explore the interactions between legal thought and other disciplines
- A wide range of articles offers a broad overview of the interactions between philosophy and law in two areas: the nature of law; and interactions between the State, the citizen, and the law
Current Legal Issues, like its sister volume Current Legal Problems, is based upon an annual colloquium held at University College London. Each year, leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloqium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice.
Law and Philosophy, the latest volume in the Current Legal Issues series, contains a broad range of essays by scholars interested in the interactions between law and philosophy. It includes studies examining the themes of the nature of law; and interactions between State, the citizen, and the law.
Readership: Scholars and advanced students of legal theory, legal philosophy, moral philosophy, criminal law theory and penology, and political theory
