Hart's The Concept of Law and, from a philosophical point of view at least, the most sophisticated contribution to that subject yet made by an American writer... Dworkin's essays are brilliantly written ... [T]he book is remarkable in its unity and technical assurance.

Dworkins theories have created shock waves among jurisprudential scholars. Time Magazine 'It is a rare treat--important, original philosophy that is also a pleasure to read.
