Product Description
Ideal for undergraduate courses in philosophy of law, this comprehensive anthology examines such topics as the concept of law, the dispute between natural law theorists and legal positivists, the relations between law and morality, criminal responsibility and legal punishment, the rights of the individual against the state, justice and equality, and legal evidence as compared with scientific evidence. The readings have been selected from both philosophy and law journals and include classic texts, contemporary theoretical developments, and well-known recent court cases. The text features extensive introductions that make even the most profound writings accessible to undergraduates.

A Terrific Book
I bought this as a textbook, but could definetly read it as a book. It is a collection of different essays on the philosophy of law, and is well put together, and easy to get through. The material is tough, but if you are intersted in philosophy of law, you should get used to tough materials.
