Summary, etc. A stimulating and rewarding variant upon standard degree topics, jurisprudence yet intimidates many students. The primary purpose of this book is to demystify the subject by presenting a comprehensive, but comprehensible, introduction which does not presuppose knowledge of law, political theory or philosophy. This third edition sees the text rounded off by extension of several sections and addition of further reading lists after chapters.<br/><br/>Lengthier analysis of the Hart-Dworkin controversy surrounding rules<br/><br/>and principles is a notable feature of the present work, which con<br/><br/>tains, too, a more detailed treatment of legal positivism. Other major thinkers examined and compared include Bentham, Austin, Kelsen, Olivecrona and Ross. There are important sections on the relationship between law, force and authority, and the central position of courts. The concluding chapteron Soviet legal theory has been strengthened.<br/><br/>Originally written mainly with newcomers to the subjectinmind, Finch has proved of continuing value to students of a complex subject. Anextended version will find an appreciative audience amongst those engaged on jurisprudence, political theory and philosophy courses.
