[João Candido · Rating 5 out of 5]

A profound and vigorous, although sometimes dense — specially if one’s not acquainted with MacCormick’s Scottish English —, introduction to Hart’s philosophy. The chapters on methodology, social context and Hart’s ideas on punishment and crimes are specially interesting.

I’ll definitely keep it with me, and reread some of it, for a very long time.
