Ethics in the Public Domain: Essays in the Morality of Law and Politics

by Joseph Raz

In the past twenty years Joseph Raz has consolidated his reputation as one of the most acute, inventive, and energetic scholars currently at work in analytic moral and political theory. This new collection of essays forms a representative selection of his most significant contributions to a number of important debates, including the extent of political duty and obligation, and the issue of self-determination. He also examines aspects of the common (and ancient) theme of the relations between law and morality. This volume of essays, available in one volume for the first time, will be essential to legal philosophers and political theorists.

[M.J. Mandoki · Rating 4 out of 5]

It is a very good book. However, it is very difficult to read and understand. It is highly technical and background in his work and in philosophy in general is strongly advised for anyone attempting to read it!
