| Summary |
"The authors of this analysis of the concept of law, arguing from the perspective of social science and political philosophy, show that jurisprudence must acknowledge that the political, the moral, and the legal are located within a continuum of practical reason, and that law's 'autonomy' from morality cannot entail its 'separation' from it."--BOOK JACKET |
