This is a really great book, a marvelous analysis fot people who want to harm others without harming themselves. Especially insightful is the chapter about harming the dead.

I was introduced to this book in a course entitled Philosophy of Law. It provides an organized, thorough look at the philosophical underpinings of some of the most important problems facing society today. This is a great book!

If you read this book, you will know everything you ever need to about philosophy. This is simply the best book, with lucid introductory passages and the most important readings. You cannot possible lead an intellectually stimulating life without addressing the problems discussed in this book.

the best book that I have read until now.

in detail....!

If the words "LD Debate" mean anything to you, you especially should pick up a copy of this book. It's full of all kinds of great analysis about the nature of rights, obligations, liberty, and law. Concise, comprehensive, and written with surprising conviction for a book that you expect to be a textbooky overview.
