"Dworkin and His Critics assembles contributions from a
simply stellar cast of moral, political, and legal philosophers
working in the analytic tradition. Taken together, their essays
probe and illuminate virtually every salient aspect of Dworkin's
writings on issues in the domain of legal and political morality.
With Dworkin's replies, this collection is essential reading for
anyone wishing to come to grips with the work of one of the leading
thinkers of our time."
Hillel Steiner, University of Manchester
"This is a terrific collection. Dworkin's work has
been hugely influential across a wide range of issues in moral,
legal and political philosophy. Here that work is interrogated by a
quite outstanding cast of critics, and Dworkin replies. For once,
'indispensable' seems about right."
Adam Swift, Oxford University
"In this collection we see why Ronald Dworkin is the most
important theorist of Anglo-American jurisprudence in this era: not
only his clarity and vision but his unique ability to stimulate
thoughtful and imaginative commentary. This is the rare collection
worth reading for the whole as well as its parts."
