商品簡介
Altman (philosophy, George Washington U.) shows how the theories and concepts of legal philosophy illuminate and clarify many of the most controversial issues of our time. Taking the rule of law as its organizing theme, the book uses vivid examples (like Clinton's impeachment) to bring the abstract theories of legal philosophy to life. Specific attention is given to various areas of law, the role of the Constitution, and the relationship between the law and other factors such as race, gender, economics, and morality. Annotation c.
