Objectivity and the Rule of Law
By
Matthew Kramer
Description
What is objectivity? What is the rule
of law? Are the operations of legal systems objective? If so, in what
ways and to what degrees are they objective? Does anything of
importance depend on the objectivity of law? These are some of the
principal questions addressed by Matthew H. Kramer in this lucid and
wide-ranging study that introduces readers to vital areas of
philosophical enquiry. As Kramer shows, objectivity and the rule of
law are complicated phenomena, each comprising a number of distinct
though overlapping dimensions. Although the connections between
objectivity and the rule of law are intimate, they are also densely
multi-faceted.
• Clearly written with non-experts
in mind by one of the foremost contemporary legal philosophers •
Addresses problems that are not only of philosophical interest but
also of practical importance • Philosophically rigorous, in the
manner of the analytic tradition of philosophy
