Legality

What is law? This question has concerned philosophers from Plato to Thomas Hobbes and H.L.A. Hart. Nevertheless, many others believe that it leads us to a dead end. In the book "Legality," Scott Shapiro argues that defining law not only makes sense but is extremely important. Breaking with the long tradition of jurisprudence, he asserts that law cannot be understood simply in terms of rules. Legal systems are best viewed as very complex and sophisticated instruments for creating and implementing plans. This shift in the focus of jurisprudence - from rules to plans - not only resolves many of the most pressing and difficult questions regarding the nature of law but also has profound implications for legal practice.
"Legality" is written in clear language without specialized terminology and does not assume any legal or philosophical background. It is both an innovative theory of law, a wonderful introduction to classical jurisprudence, and its defense.
