The included selections provide superb coverage of both classic and contemporary views, and are edited only lightly to allow readers to grapple with arguments in their original form. Culver and Giudice's clear, accessible introductions discuss key terms, claims, issues, and points of connection and disagreement. Readings are placed within their historical and social contexts, with analogies and examples emphasizing the continuing relevance of the arguments at issue. This third edition is updated to take account of the rise of legal pluralism, debates over judicial review of constitutional rights, anti-terrorism laws, hate crime, and non-state law at both regional and global levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is an exceptionally well-organized textbook.

I strongly recommend it.” — Paul Hughes, University of Michigan, Dearborn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eReadings in the Philosophy of Law\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eJudging Positivism\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFurther Readings\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1: Natural Law Theory\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt. Thomas Aquinas, \"\"Treatise on Law,\"\" Questions 90-91, 94-96, \u003cem\u003eSumma Theologica\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Finnis, from \u003cem\u003eNatural Law and Natural Rights\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2: Legal Positivism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Austin, from \u003cem\u003eThe Province of Jurisprudence Determined\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH.L.A.
