It offers an information base for those embarking on courses in comparative law or politics. Series: Law and Philosophy Library. Num Pages: 258 pages, biography.

Hardback. Deals with basic points of legal theory and philosophy of law. This title shows that with the legal positivistic approach we cannot know, in all cases, what the law is, if that is equated to the rules posited by the legislator. It is of interest to philosophers concerned with law or ethics, and those concerned with justice in modern society. Series: Law and Philosophy Library. Num Pages: 246 pages, biography. BIC Classification: LAB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 542.
