Ronald Dworkin and contemporary Jurisprudence

Ronald Dworkin's 'Taking Rights Seriously' has been described as 'the most important work in jurisprudence since H.L.A. Hart's 'The Concept of Law', and Dworkin must rank as the most influential legal theorist to have emerged in recent years. This collection of critical articles by leading British and American scholars (including Hart), edited by Marshall Cohen, examines the philosophical and political controversies aroused by Dworkin's work. The topics range from general jurisprudence and constitutional law and morality and between law and the arguments in what will take its place as the standard critique of his work for students of jurisprudence, philosophy, social science and public life.
