Reading Hla Hart's "The Concept of Law"
Luis Duarte D'almeida, Andrea
Dolcetti, James Edwards - Hart Publishing Limited, 2013
More than 50 years after it was first
published, The Concept of Law remains the most important work of legal
philosophy in the English-speaking world. In this volume, written for both
students and specialists, 13 leading scholars look afresh at Hart's great
book.Unique in format, the volume proceeds sequentially through all the main
ideas in The Concept of Law: each contributor addresses a single chapter of
Hart's book, critically discussing its arguments in light of subsequent
developments in the field. Four concluding essays assess the continued relevance
for jurisprudence of the 'persistent questions' identified by Hart at the
beginning of The Concept of Law.Contributors include Timothy Endicott, Richard
Tur, Pavlos Eleftheriadis, John Gardner, Grant Lamond, Nicos Stavropoulos,
Leslie Green, John Tasioulas, Jeremy Waldron, John Finnis, Frederick Schauer,
Pierluigi Chiassoni and Nicola Lacey.
