Ronald Dworkin is widely accepted as the most important and most
controversial Anglo-American jurist of the past forty years. And this
same-named volume on his work has become a minor classic in the field,
offering the most complete analysis and integration of Dworkin's work to
date. This third edition offers a substantial revision of earlier texts
and, most importantly, incorporates discussion of Dworkin's recent
masterwork Justice for Hedgehogs.
Accessibly written for a wide readership, this book captures the
complexity and depth of thought of Ronald Dworkin. Displaying a
long-standing commitment to Dworkin's work, Stephen Guest clearly
highlights the scholar's key theories to illustrate a guiding principle
over the course of Dworkin's work: that there are right answers to
questions of moral value. In assessing this principle, Guest also
expands his analysis of contemporary critiques of Dworkin. The third
edition includes an updated and complete bibliography of Dworkin's work.
