Reviews for Law's Empire

As an advocate Dworkin is tirelessly fluent and endlessly inventive... and this is a surprisingly fraternal book, open, busy, engaging and teeming with ideas. It will give many readers a great deal of pleasure and instruction.John DunnTimes Literary SupplementSeptember 2002Laws Empire stands out for intellectual deftness, elegance and surprisingness.Alan RyanNew SocietySeptember 2002Laws Empire is a rich and multilayered work ... unusually accessible for a work dealing with abstract questions at such a high level. It is an ambitious book, and it does not disappoint the expectations appropriate to a major work by an important thinker.Thomas NagelLondon Review of BooksSeptember 2002Breaks new ground in a way that is both provocative and convincing.D.D.
