"Arguing about Law" introduces philosophy of law in an accessible and engaging way. The reader covers a wide range of topics, from general jurisprudence, law, the state and the individual, to topics in normative legal theory, as well as the theoretical foundations of public and private law. In addition to including many classics, "Arguing About Law" also includes both non-traditional selections, and discussion of timely topical issues like the legal dimension of the war on terror.

The editors provide lucid introductions to each section in which they give an overview of the debate and outline the arguments of the papers, helping the student get to grips with both the classic and core arguments and emerging debates in:

the nature of law

legality and morality

the rule of law

the duty to obey the law

legal enforcement of sexual morality

the nature of rights

rights in an age of terror

constitutional theory

tort theory.

"Arguing About Law" is an inventive and stimulating reader for students new to philosophy of law, legal theory and jurisprudence.

Aileen Kavanagh is Reader in Law at the University of Leicester, UK.

John Oberdiek is Associate Professor of Law at the Rutgers University School of Law-Camden, USA and Co-Director of the Rutgers Institute for Law and Philosophy
