Description
The seminar will be a study of Ronald Dworkin's theory of law and its critics. Dworkin is one of the most influential thinkers in Anglo-American political and legal philosophy of the past half century. The study will concentrate on Dworkin’s masterwork Law’s Empire and (time permitting) will examine his later work Justice for Hedgehogs.
