Synopsis
This is a discussion of one of the central problems in the philosophy of law, the question of legal determinacy. Is the law a seamless web or are there gaps? Are there indeterminacies and lacunae in the law and, if so, what causes them? These issues are traditionally taken to depend on the application of various considerations, from the theory of meaning and the philosophy of mind to legal contexts. They are extensively discussed in this book, with particular emphasis on the work of Hart, Wittgenstein and Dworkin.
