The progression of ideas is coherent (though minimal in content) and allows the reader to move in known paths even as exposure to legal theory and jurisprudence is gradually increased. Close parallels with sociology and philosophy pretty much dictates this, but still, well executed. All in all, a good introductory work.Jun 05, 2016
Philosophy of Law: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions #147), Raymond WacksJan 08, 2017
سلسله کتاب های مختصر و مفید از انتشارات دانشگاه آکسفورد را به طور کلی می پسندم. کتاب فلسفه حقوق را اما به جای نشر ماهی و پیش از آن که این انتشارات اقدام به ترجمه سلسله مورد نظر کند، دو نفر با دو ناشر در ایران ترجمه کردند. یکی از آن ها همین خانم فاطمه آبیار است. دکتر رحمت الهی که خود نظارت بر این ترجمه را بر عهده داشته است، می گوید ترجمه آبیار روان و خوش فهم است. با این حال اما من قبول ندارم و ترجمه انصاری را بیش تر می پسندم. «فلسفه حقوق» یک بیان تاریخی از مبانی نظری این دانش و نیز تحلیلی کوتاه و سلسله کتاب های مختصر و مفید از انتشارات دانشگاه آکسفورد را به طور کلی می پسندم. کتاب فلسفه حقوق را اما به جای نشر ماهی و پیش از آن که این انتشارات اقدام به ترجمه سلسله مورد نظر کند، دو نفر با دو ناشر در ایران ترجمه کردند. یکی از آن ها همین خانم فاطمه آبیار است. دکتر رحمت الهی که خود نظارت بر این ترجمه را بر عهده داشته است، می گوید ترجمه آبیار روان و خوش فهم است. با این حال اما من قبول ندارم و ترجمه انصاری را بیش تر می پسندم. «فلسفه حقوق» یک بیان تاریخی از مبانی نظری این دانش و نیز تحلیلی کوتاه و مختصر از آن ها است. ...moreMay 09, 2016
Her ne kadar kitabın tanıtım yazısında hukuk uygulayıcılarına ve hukukçu olmayanlara için hukuk felsefesini tanıtım amacı güttüğü söylense de bence hukukçu olmayan, bu konularda kulak dolgunluğu da olmayan birinin bu kitapta kaybolabileceğini söyleyebilirim.Jun 08, 2015
Unfortunately, this book is useless. The brevity associated with the Oxford Introduction series doesn’t work well when the intention is to give an introduction to such a large subject. Wacks leaves aside a lot of very important thinkers and gives only a very brief, unsatisfying and misleading account of many others, the ones who get a more detailed and adequate explanation being of Anglo – American tradition.Jul 09, 2013
A short introduction to the philosophy of law written from a Western (especially English and American) perspective.Jan 14, 2019
Raymond Wacks' Philosophy of Law: A Very Short Introduction is an exceptionally lucid overview of the origins and critical debates behind legal tradition. What sets this book apart is how it conveys a greater narrative of legal philosophy that both evolves and transforms as the reader is confronted with new approaches of understanding the law.

My only criticism is the book's limited detail - an obvious consequence of the series' format. ...moreNov 18, 2018
I started reading this book not knowing too much about philosophy of law, and I think I know more now, but I'm not sure that I won't forget it all in the coming days. I think that Wacks wrote quite well and the topics were mostly fairly interesting. I am slightly concerned that he wasn't giving a totally accurate explanation of some of what he was discussing, but that sort of rigour may just be a necessary sacrifice in such a short book.

Gotta love a truly “pocketbook” this was my go to read ... had it in my suit pocket and would take it out while I’m waiting rooms that don’t allow cellphone use...Feb 01, 2018
It may be brief but it does assume you have at least SOME working knowledge of philosophy and law. Wonderfully written and filled with relevant, essential content.Apr 19, 2018
Wacks在短短的几章里面描述了法律和道德与权利之间的关系,还有法律对社会凝结力的影响,以及法律是否对某些群体比如女性和有色种族产生结构性压迫。我个人第一遍读有些吃力,第二遍读的时候就感觉出Wacks写的非常简洁明了。Aug 31, 2018
Capítulos 2 e 3 têm a melhor introdução do debate Hart vs Dworkin que você acha por aí.Apr 24, 2016
A good overview, although the author's biases show through at times - particularly in the brief discussion of the "law and economics" movement where we see far more push back than any other section.Feb 10, 2017
What a lazy introduction. It's like reading someone's lecture notes.Aug 01, 2016
A concise survey of topics in the philosophy of law, some of it a revisiting of my coursework back in the early 90s when I was then mostly a naive undergrad, and most of it new and exciting and inevitably putting a quite interesting lens over current legal issues and concerns, which though given new intensity by the ongoing struggles with the nature, scope, meaning and purpose of law with regards to gender, race, oppression, power, rights, and so on, are nevertheless not adequately dealt with in A concise survey of topics in the philosophy of law, some of it a revisiting of my coursework back in the early 90s when I was then mostly a naive undergrad, and most of it new and exciting and inevitably putting a quite interesting lens over current legal issues and concerns, which though given new intensity by the ongoing struggles with the nature, scope, meaning and purpose of law with regards to gender, race, oppression, power, rights, and so on, are nevertheless not adequately dealt with in the foundational (metaphysical) and "law in action" (positivist, realist) approaches most law and jurisprudence practitioners are contended with. While these new topics are still being worked on and articulated and debated, what could be anticipated in the development of the philosophy of law, perhaps when a newfangled social order manages to crop up post-capitalism and post-jurisprudence, is something that could be sufficiently challenging to law's tradition and law's promise. Or if it were to be a post-order, then wherefor law. ...moreSep 21, 2014
Raymond Wacks writes in the preface to this book,"Brevity is not a virtue normally associated with the law...law books are weighty...this series, however, obliges its authors to slim down, to compress, to abridge - without oversimplifying the subject of the book".Nov 02, 2013
This book was good in that it made me aware that, in addition to the idiots in Congress who are passing laws, we do actually have intelligent, thoughtful, reasonable people who are thinking, talking, writing, and analyzing law, too. But beyond that, I didn't particularly enjoy the read. It's a personal preference, though, and doesn't reflect on the book. It seems well organized and thorough and, surprisingly relatively easy to follow.May 02, 2016
TL;DR: A broad, if irregular, introduction to the core issues of philosophy of law.Apr 24, 2014
This is a helpful introduction to the different philosophies of law. Some material was giving rather more space than I thought it should have, especially the post-modern theories of law.Mar 02, 2016
Things I learnt reading this book:Jan 24, 2015
Interesting introduction to complex ideas and theories, but lacks clarity at some points (possibly due to having to cram so many different ideas into 100-odd pages). I think some key terms definitely need operating definitions (in layman terms) for the book's target audience to appreciate. Sentences can also be shortened for clarity.Jan 27, 2013
Accessible, overview on the role of law. In a nutshell. But, therefore it makes you think; are we using the law in the right sense in our societies? There must be a better way where we could have virtues citizens and less law. Everything in life layer down in rules to follow. Is that goog?Jun 28, 2012
Kind of a law for dummies. I learned a little bit but some parts are really dumbed down or watered down. The feminist part is terrible and don't bother to learn about how law deals with civil rights issues. There are plenty of other books for that.Dec 19, 2012
