The editors' introductory matter is uniformly first rate. It is a collection from which a professor could build an excellent course." -- Richard Bronaugh, University of Western Ontario </p> <p>"A balanced and thorough introduction to philosophy of law that includes recent work in critical legal studies and feminism, and important material on international law. I strongly recommend it." -- Paul Hughes, University of Michigan, Dearborn </p> <p>"<em>Readings in the Philosophy of Law</em> is an excellent textbook. The editors carefully distill central themes of legal philosophy into manageable segments without sacrificing the level of detail that makes the subject both demanding and interesting. By structuring the material around the central questions that inform, or spring from, each debate, the authors prompt students to think critically about the material presented. In my view, the mark of a great textbook is that instructors from a range of philosophical schools will be excited to use it. I think Keith Culver and Michael Giudice have achieved this elusive goal." -- Margaret Martin, author of <em>Judging Positivism</em> </p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Keith Culver</strong> is Professor of Management at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus. </p> <p><strong>Michael Giudice</strong> is Associate Professor of Philosophy at York University. </p>
