Summary: "An extensive and substantial revision! Nineteen new readings! Fresh contributions .. new perspectives ... The most widely respected philosophy of law reader in print today. Joel Feinberg's leading anthology - now featuring new co-author Jules Coleman - presents legal cases and essays written by many of the best scholars in legal philosophy. Effectively invigorating traditional philosophy of law themes by relating them to the real concerns of modern society, this best-selling collection continues to grown in popularity. Feinberg and Coleman include an exceptional selection of relevant topics, a balance of substantive positions on controversial questions, and lightly edited classics. While this Sixth Edition largely follows the Fifth in its organization - moving from issues of law and liberty to justice, responsibility, and punishment - there are many important enhancements ...

New selections include works by: Brian Bix, Jules Coleman and Arthur Ripstein, Susan Dimock, Ronald Dworkin, Joel Feinberg, Leslie Green, Mark Kelman, Anthony T. Kronman, David Luban, Toni M. Massaro, Stephen Perry, Plato, Russ Shafer-Landau, and Ernest J. Weinrib. Revised section introductions enrich understanding of the readings"
