Law as a Moral Idea
Simmonds, Nigel (Reader in Jurisprudence, University of Cambridge)
This book provides an original critique of legal positivism, arguing that the institutions of law, and the structures of legal thought, can only be understood by reference to a moral ideal - an ideal of freedom, or independence from the power of others.
