"If the test for the success of a volume of essays is whether or not they 'hang together' as a whole, then the book is a winner ... It is often tightly argued, candid and thought-provoking, almost always seeking to take the argument a few steps further while scrupulously examining the snags ofso doing. In other words, it is what we have come to expect from Raz." --Modern Law Review 13/07/1995, "The essays remind one how subtle, unpretentious and constructive 'analytical' political philosophy can be when practised with such intelligence, care and seriousness of purpose...no one interested in contemporary liberal theory or the philosophy of law could fail to learn a very great dealfrom these exemplary essays." --Political Studies 12/12/1995, 'Review from previous edition Joseph Raz is the creator of a distinctive, powerful and appealing philosophical vision, further defended and elaborated in this fine collection of sixteen essays.'Henry Shue, The Philosophical Review, Vol 106, no3 (July 1997)'An excellent exposure to Raz's recent thoughts ...

Synopsis
In this book Joseph Raz develops his work on some central questions in practical philosophy: legal, political and moral. The book provides a valuable overview of Raz's views on the methodology of jurisprudence; on the nature of law and its relation to morality; on the justification of authority; and on interpretation in law and the humanities., In this book Joseph Raz develops his views on some of the central questions in practical philosophy: legal, political, and moral. The book provides an overview of Raz's work on jurisprudence and the nature of law in the context of broader questions in the philosophy of practical reason. The book opens with a discussion of methodological issues, focusing on understanding the nature of jurisprudence. It asks how the nature of law can be explained, and how the success of a legal theory can be established. The book then addresses central questions on the nature of law, its relation to morality, the nature and justification of authority, and the nature of legal reasoning. It explains how legitimate law, while being a branch of applied morality, is also a relatively autonomous system, which has the potential to bridge moral differences among its subjects. Raz offers responses to some critical reactions to his theory of authority, adumbrating, and modifying the theory to meet some of them. The final part of the book brings together for the first time Raz's work on the nature of interpretation in law and the humanities. It includes a new essay explaining interpretive pluralism and the possibility of interpretive innovation. Taken together, the essays in the volume offer a valuable introduction for students coming for the first time to Raz's work in the philosophy of law, and an original contribution to many of the current debates in practical philosophy.
