Book Description
What is objectivity? What is the rule of law? Are the operations of legal systems objective? If so, in what ways and to what degrees are they objective? Does anything of importance depend on the objectivity of law? These are some of the principal questions addressed by Matthew H. Kramer in this lucid and wide-ranging study that introduces readers to vital areas of philosophical enquiry.
Review
"In this focused and fluid new book, Professor Matthew Kramer explores the full terrain of th[e] important question [of law's objectivity]. Professor Kramer disentangles the complicated notion of objectivity into six distinct conceptions, and differentiates the rule of law -- the set of conditions necessary for any functioning legal system -- from the Rule of Law -- a moral judgment entrenched in the liberal-democratic tradition....The strength of this compelling account is Professor Kramer's effortless interweaving of positive and normative analysis....Though the principal audience of this book will be students of philosophy, law, and political science, Professor Kramer's clear prose welcomes lawyers and scholars who seek a fuller understanding of the relationship between law and objectivity." -- Harvard Law Review
