| Summary |
This volume assembles leading scholars from the continental and analytic schools to examine how their respective theoretical positions treat the artifactual nature of law. It explores what the claim that legal systems, norms, and institutions are artifacts, ontologically entails, and the consequences this has for philosophical accounts of law |
