Customer Reviews

A great jurisprudence work
This is excellent. After reading Plato and aristotle and stuff like that, it is time to soak up the meaning and how the ideas fit in with writers such as Kant, Puffendorf and Hobbes. Now you can combine the ideas together.

Useless - I'm sorry but this was going too far
Jurisprudence is hard enough without a textbook which is totally and utterly incomprehensible. The authors can't be blamed, although even their introductory chapters weren't hugely helpful - SImmonds gives a better resume of the facts - and they are only reprinting the central theses.

However, I bought this book and although I did open it, i had to give up after only a paragraph each time because it was not understandable. There's enough reading to do in law, without using this book.

Sorry.

excellent for essays
I was lucky enough to find this second hand for a fiver! but its worth every penny [...] if you're serious about the topic. For a university course [...]is excessive, but it's a fantastic book to help with writing essays and looking good in exams.
