Biographical note
Robert George is Professor of Law at Princeton University. He is a former Judicial Fellow at the Supreme Court of the United States and presidential Appointee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights
This collection of original essays from distinguished legal philosophers offers a challenging assessment of the nature and viability of legal positivism, an approach to legal theory that continues to dominate contemporary legal theoretical debates. To what extent is the law adequately described as autonomous? Should legal theorists maintain a conceptual separation of law and morality? These and other questions are addressed by the authors of this carefully edited collection, which will be of interest to all lawyers and scholars interested in legal philosophy.
