Cohen and Cohen's Readings in Jurisprudence and Legal Philosophy
This third edition is updated to take account of the rise of legal pluralism, debates over judicial review of constitutional rights, anti-terrorism laws, hate crime, and non-state law at both regional and global levels.
"An attempt to give readers in one volume a speaking acquaintance with the great legal philosophers of the ages"--Preface.
These essays explore the tensions between law as a protector of individual liberty and as a tool of democratic self-rule, and introduce debates about adjudication and the contribution of feminist approaches to the philosophy of law.
By exposing students to a wide range of theoretical views, this book challenges students to think critically about law in the US and elsewhere, and between nations.
