Law’s Quandary

Know about the book -

Law’s Quandary is written by Steven D. Smith and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674043820 (ISBN 10) and 9780674043824 (ISBN 13).

Smith argues that our legal vocabulary and methods of reasoning presuppose classical ontological commitments that were articulated by thinkers from Aquinas to Coke to Blackstone to Story. But these commitments are out of sync with the world view that now prevails in academic and professional thinking. So our law-talk degenerates into “just words.”
