Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-07 00:00:00 Fitatsd Linas I read this in my Philosophy of Law class at Muhlenberg with Lud Schlecht. This was one of the most interesting classes I ever took. It was this class that I shredded my opponent in debate for paternalism. He, however, left me a profound thought: if we were able to stop time immediately prior to impact, would you put on your seatbelt? Of course. While that was an awful argument to make when dealing with whether the state has the right to mandate you where a seatbelt, that comment has had a lasting impact on me; I have never failed to strap in whether driving or as a passenger since. Anyhow, this is a good anthology of various philosophical thought as it pertains to society's interest (Mill, Rawls, Kristol, Dworkin, Nozick, Beauchamp, Hart, etc.). Griswold is covered here too. Thus, the foundations of my current politics were crafted with this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-18 00:00:00 Ed Koch A required book for any Philosophy of Law class in undergrad, the Feinberg complication gives the reader a great introduction into the philosophic issues involved in legal theory. I enjoyed reading the text in my undergraduate class this semester and recommend it to anyone that is taking a Philosophy of Law class at their undergrad university.
