The main contention of the book  relates to the insufficiencies of the legal positivistic approach.  Some of its claims are that we must sharply separate what the law is  from, what the law ought to be, and that we can know what the law is  without appealing to meta-legal considerations. These and other claims  are criticized. The author shows that with the legal positivistic  approach we cannot know, in all cases, what the law is, if that is  equated to the rules posited by the legislator. He also challenges  H.L.A. Hart's and MacCormick's points of view, amongst others, about  the characteristic corner stones of legal positivism. Some other  issues relate to human rights, legal rationality and efficiency and  ethics. This book will be of interest to philosophers concerned with  law or ethics, those concerned with justice in modern society and to  jurists and law students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-10-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048147595\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2846-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 246\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343410196620,"sku":"9789048147595","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048147595.jpg?v=1771513105","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048147595","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
