Paperback. Condition: New. Ronald Dworkin occupies a distinctive place in both public life and philosophy. In public life, he is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and other widely read journals. In philosophy, he has written important and influential works on many of the most prominent issues in legal and political philosophy. In both cases, his interventions have in part shaped the debates he joined. His opposition to Robert Bork's nomination for the United States Supreme Court gave new centrality to debates about the public role of judges and the role of original intent in constitutional interpretation. His writings in legal philosophy have reoriented the modern debate about legal positivism and natural law. In political philosophy, he has shaped the ways in which people debate the nature of equality and has reframed debates about the sanctity of life. Seller Inventory # LU-9780521664127

About the book >.>.> Ronald Dworkin by Arthur Ripstein presents a comprehensive examination of the philosopher and public intellectual Ronald Dworkin, whose contributions have significantly influenced both legal and political philosophy. Dworkin is noted for his regular writings in prominent journals, such as The New York Review of Books, where he engages with critical issues that shape contemporary debates. His opposition to Robert Bork?s nomination to the United States Supreme Court has been pivotal in highlighting the public role of judges and the impact of original intent on constitutional interpretation.This volume offers new essays that delve into Dworkin's key contributions, reflecting on his influence on various philosophical discussions. In legal philosophy, Dworkin's work has transformed the discourse surrounding legal Positivism and natural law, compelling scholars to rethink foundational concepts. His impact within political philosophy is equally profound, addressing complex themes such as the nature of equality, the interplay of luck and responsibility in distributive justice, and the sanctity of life. Furthermore, his work has catalysed substantial discourse on democracy and the rule of law, demonstrating the breadth of his engagement with pressing societal issues.The essays compiled in this volume are authored by respected figures in philosophy, each contributing their insights on Dworkin's ideas and their relevance to contemporary debates.
