Old ideas are expressed in new frameworks; familiar distinctions are drawn in different ways; existing doctrines receive novel formulations; principles that long have been taken for granted are subjected to fresh challenges Punishment and Freedom poses a deep challenge to just about everything we Anglo-American criminal theorists take for granted. * Douglas Husak, Rutgers University. Ethics 120.4 *\u003cbr\u003eAlan Brudner has produced a rare and beautiful work of scholarship. He gives us nothing less than a comprehensive theory of the criminal law, with answers to almost all, if not all, the questions that commonly preoccupy its students. The scope of Brudner's study is breath-taking ...Hegel's work inspires Brudner's theory, but anyone can understand Brudner's theory without misunderstanding Hegel, though I suspect that the more one appreciates Hegel, the better one can appreciate Brudner...Brudner's theory of the criminal law is an intellectual delight, in which i hope every student of the criminal law will allow themselves to indulge. * Stephen P.
