Law and Truth Hardcover

Professor Dennis Patterson

Patterson applies the modern debate between Realism and Anti-realism to the question of the nature of law. Starting from the question `What is legal knowledge?' he examines the answers provided by the principal comtemporary theories of jurisprudence, concluding that they are all inextricably bound uo with the nature of justification. He concludes with a novel aaccount of legal knowledge as pragmatism.
