A landmark work of political and legal philosophy, Ronald Dworkin's
'Taking Rights Seriously' was acclaimed as a major work on its first
publication in 1977 and remains profoundly influential in the 21st
century. A forceful statement of liberal principles - championing the
legal, moral and political rights of the individual against the state -
Dworkin demolishes prevailing utilitarian and legal-positivist
approaches to jurisprudence.
