This textbook is an ambitious and engaging introduction to the more advanced writings on Jurisprudence, primarily designed to allow students to 'get under the skin' of the topic and begin to build their critical thinking and analysis skills. Each chapter is structured around key questions and debates that provoke deeper thought and, ultimately, a clearer understanding. The aim of the book is therefore not to present a complete overview of theoretical issues in Jurisprudence, but rather to illustrate the current debates which are currently going on among those working in shaping the area. The text features summaries of the views of notable experts on key topics and each chapter ends with a list of guided further reading.
A perfect book for students taking a module in jurisprudence, or for those wanting to deepen their knowledge.
New to this Edition:
- New debates on the nature and legitimacy of global justice, and the binding force of precedent.
- Incorporates discussion of new contributions to jurisprudential writing by Mark Greenberg, Scott Hershowitz, David Howarth and Shona Stark, Matthew Kramer, Frederick Schauer, and Jeremy Waldron.
- Includes substantially revised chapters on 'The nature of jurisprudence' and 'Morality and rights'

Nicholas J McBride is a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he is the Director of Studies in Law. He writes on all areas of private law and particularly on the theoretical foundations of the law of obligations.

Two primary markets:
(i) undergraduate courses in jurisprudence, particularly 2nd/3rd year courses, most likely as further reading for the keenest students;
(ii) taught post-graduate courses in jurisprudence. Though the kind of sales suggest a library sale, the sustained sales suggest there must be individual purchases too.
Virtually all undergraduate law degrees have jurisprudence modules, usually optional but also compulsory.
Secondary markets include: (i) academics: both specialist legal theorists as well as academics seeking a critical take on familiar jurisprudential ideas; (ii) law libraries.
