520 _aJurisprudence is one of the most fascinating areas of legal and philosophical inquiry. Concerning itself with the nature of law and legal reasoning, and with the concepts of justice and individual rights, it seeks to set legal ideas in the wider context of moral and political theory. This new book aims to provide a brief guide to the major theories and arguments which currently dominate discussion in jurisprudence. The object is to put the student, as quickly as possible, into a position where he or she can read the original writers with a real understanding of how their theories relate to each other, and of how these theories cluster around certain recurring fundamental issues.
