<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 4.5pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto" soNormal><B></B> This anthology of classical and contemporary philosophical and legal essays and legal cases focuses on legal philosophy as its own subject-rather than as an outgrowth of social or political philosophy or applied ethics. The essays focus on how law is organized and the particular philosophical issues that law raises. The book requires readers to think through actual debates-many of them still live in the courts. <B></B> Initial sections on legal practice, legal reasoning, and the nature of law are followed by discussions of criminal, tort, contract, property and constitutional law. Also includes strong religious freedom and e<I>quality and the constitution</I> coverage. <B></B> For lawyers or philosophers studying legal philosophy.</P> |
