Jurisprudence, Fourth Edition, is an expanded, revised, restructured and updatededition of this now established popular textbook.
Jurisprudence, Fourth Edition commences with a comprehensive and in-depthaccount of the three main sources of jurisprudence: classical jurisprudence,substantive jurisprudence and adjunctive jurisprudence. Classical jurisprudence isa historical source of jurisprudence and traces the evolution of natural law andpositive law to modern times. Substantive jurisprudence as the primary source ofjurisprudence is comprised of the modern theories of naturalism and positivism,the juristic theories of Ronald Dworkin and American legal theory. Adjunctivejurisprudence as a secondary source of jurisprudence is comprised of socio-legaltheory and historico-legal theory save only insofar as those theories recognise lawas a social or historical phenomenon.This book also introduces and develops a new analytical concept of jurisprudencecalled the concept of juristic practice. This new concept may be applied whenundertaking jurisprudential analyses of legal systems.
