The past two decades have seen an outpouring of work in legal theory that is self-consciously critical of aspects of American law and the institutions of the liberal state. In this lively volume, eminent scholars in philosophy, law, and political science respond to this recent scholarship by exploring what constitutes a "radical" critique of the law, examining such theories as critical legal studies, feminist theory and theories of "difference," and critical race theory. The authors consider whether the critiques advanced in recent legal theory can truly be called radical and what form a radical critique of American law should take. Writing at the cutting edge of the critique of critical legal theory, they offer insights first on critical legal scholarship, then on feminist political and legal theory. A third group of contributions questions the radicalness of these approaches in light of their failure to challenge fundamental aspects of liberalism, while a final section focuses on current issues of legal reform through critical views on criminal punishment, including observations on rape and hate speech. Each major essay describes the underlying principles in the development of a radical legal theory and addresses unresolved questions relating to it, while accompanying commentaries present conflicting views. The resulting dialogue explores wide-ranging issues like equity, value relativism, adversarial and empathic legal advocacy, communitarianism and the social contract, impartiality and contingency, "natural" law, and corrective justice. A common thread for many of the articles is a focus on the social dimension of society and law, which finds the individualism of prevailing liberal theories too limiting. Radical Critiques of the Law is particularly unique in presenting critical and feminist approaches in one volume-along with skeptical commentary about just how radical some critiques really are. Proposing alternative critiques that embody considerably greater promise of being truly radical, it offers provocative reading for both philosophers and legal scholars by showing that many claims to radicalism are highly problematic at best.

Ambitious legal thinkers have become mesmerized by moral philosophy, believing that great figures in the philosophical tradition hold the keys to understanding and improving law and justice and even to resolving the most contentious issues of constitutional law. They are wrong, contends Richard Posner in this book. Posner characterizes the current preoccupation with moral and constitutional theory as the latest form of legal mystification--an evasion of the real need of American law, which is for a greater understanding of the social, economic, and political facts out of which great legal controversies arise. In pursuit of that understanding, Posner advocates a rebuilding of the law on the pragmatic basis of open-minded and systematic empirical inquiry and the rejection of cant and nostalgia--the true professionalism foreseen by Oliver Wendell Holmes a century ago. A bracing book that pulls no punches and leaves no pieties unpunctured or sacred cows unkicked, The Problematics of Moral and Legal Theory offers a sweeping tour of the current scene in legal studies--and a hopeful prospect for its future.

Closure Or Critique

Closure Or Critique written by Alan William Norrie and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1993 with Law categories.

"Can law be understood as a closed, self-sustaining system of rules? Can it claim a measure of autonomy from broader social political and economic forces or is it always reducible to such forces? Is any claim to autonomy false, perhaps designed to legitimise the existing social order? Is law based upon moral foundations or are ethical considerations deeply disruptive of it? Questions of legal and moral closure and of the critique of law's foundations and possibilities lie at the heart of crucial claims about the nature and value of law in modern Western societies. Closure or Critique addresses them from a variety of Modern and Postmodern positions central to current legal thought with a ground-breaking collection of essays from leading academics. Bringing together a variety of diverse perspectives, and encouraging a dialogue between approaches to law that are frequently seen as simply at odds with each other, Closure or Critique will be of interest both to the advanced reader seeking new work at the cutting edge, and to the first time student requiring an overview of legal theory today."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
