Legal Reasoning and Legal Theory

Front Cover
Clarendon Press, 1978 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 298 pages
This study focuses on current jurisprudential debate between the "positivist" views of Herbert Hart and the "rights thesis" of Ronald Dworkin. MacCormick provides a critical analysis of the Dworkin position while also modifying Hart's. It stands firmly on its own as a contribution to an extensive literature.
