Analyzing Law Summary

Analyzing Law: New Essays in Legal Theory by Brian Bix (Frederick W. Thomas Associate Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Minnesota Law School, Frederick W. Thomas Associate Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Minnesota Law School)

The articles in this collection cover a wide range of approaches to law and legal theory, including Analytical Jurisprudence, Legal Realism, Law and Economics, Critical Legal Studies, Feminism, and Critical Race Theory. The essays consider foundational questions regarding the objectivity of law, the nature of rules, the relationship of law and morality and the philosophical foundations of the common law, and offer critical inquiries into whether law systematically fails women and racial minorities. The contributors, who include some of the best-known names in legal theory from the United States, Britain, Canada, and Israel, are responsible for some of the most important and challenging work in legal theory today. A central focus of the essays in this work is the contribution of the well-known philosopher Jules Coleman to the various topics which are covered by the contributors.

Analyzing Law Reviews

One of the highlights of the book is a long essay in which Coleman articulates his current thinking on many of the issues raised in the articles. For those with broad interests in legal theory, there is much here to provoke reflection. For those with more specialized interests, the book provides a lively introduction to the issues that have engaged Jules Coleman for the last couple of decades. / Kenneth Einar Himma, Dept. of Philosophy, University of Washington / The Law and Politics Book Review, Vol. 9 , No. 2, Feb 1999.
