This lively and accessible introduction to the social, moral, and cultural foundations of law takes a broad scope– spanning philosophy, law, politics, and economics, and discussing a range of topics including women’s rights, racism, the environment, and recent international issues such as the war in Iraq and the treatment of terror suspects. Revealing the intriguing and challenging nature of legal philosophy with clarity and enthusiasm, Raymond Wacks explores the notion of law and its role in our lives. Referring to key thinkers from the classical world to the modern, he looks at the central questions behind legal theory that have always fascinated lawyers and philosophers, as well as anyone who ever wondered about law’s relation to justice, morality, and democracy.
