Description
Foundations of Legal Philosophy offers a representative and accessible introduction to the field’s main topics, with particular emphasis on contemporary debates. This textbook systematically presents key theories concerning the nature of law and its moral evaluation, and explores practical questions such as why we are obliged to obey the law and under what conditions authorities may exercise paternalistic interventions against individuals. It also includes chapters on philosophical problems in the most important branches of law, including the justification of punishment and the moral binding force of contracts. The text is intended primarily for law students, but is designed to be accessible to a wider readership interested in law, philosophy and social issues.
