About the Author:
Jules Coleman is Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld Professor of Jurisprudence and Philosophy, Yale University. He is the editor of the journal Legal Theory.
Review:
`Coleman is one of the leading legal philosophers in the Anglo-American world, and his writings on tort theory, contract theory, the normative foundations of law and economics, social choice theory, and analytical jurisprudence have been the point of departure for much of the most interesting
activity in the field for the last three decades.'
Michigan Law Review
`"...Exceedingly valuable demonstration of the possibility and the limits of philosophical engagement"'
TLS
`"The virtues of Colemans pragmatic approach...are the generosity of its scope and the modesty of its objectives"'
TLS
`"Coleman is probably the leading philosphical interpreter of private law in the Anglo-American world"'
TLS
`... an illuminating and enthralling read ... Among other virtues, The Practice of Principle presents perhaps the most developed statement of inclusive legal positivism to date. In doing so, it advances our understanding not only of that position, but also of the various positions arrayed
against it.'
Modern Law Review, 1 Sept 2001

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Jules Coleman, one of the world's most influential philosophers of law here expounds his recent views on a range of important issues in legal theory. Coleman offers for the first time an explicit account of the pragmatist method that has long informed his work, and takes on the views of highly respected contemporaries such as Ronald Dworkin and Joseph Raz. The first part of the book builds on Coleman's well-known 'corrective justice' accountof tort law, highlighting the sophisticated pragmatist methodology that he brings to bear on legal theory and presing further his critique of the law and economics school of legal analysis. The secondpart advances a new articulation of the jurisprudential view associated most closely with Coleman - Inclusive Legal Positivism. Many of Coleman's most controversial claims are here defended as part of a comprehensive new account of law as a conventional practice. The third part takes up the question whether conceptual analysis of the law - an approach that has long dominated philosophical thinking on the topic - is even possible. Rejecting recent arguments that it must be replaced by anormative or naturalized jurisprudence, Coleman defends his distinctive form of pragmatist conceptual analysis.
