- Summary:
- What is law, and why does it matter? Scott Hershovitz says that law is a moral practice--a tool for adjusting our moral relations. This claim is simple on its face, but it has stark implications for the rule of law. At once erudite and entertaining, Hershovitz's argument engages with the most important legal and political controversies of our time.
