Jurisprudence

Description

Jurisprudence is a comprehensive treatment of the subject by many of the leading legal theorists in South Africa. Each of the major schools of jurisprudence, as well as a number of the major issues in jurisprudence, are discussed in a sophisticated yet accessible style. Each of the schools is assessed for its relevance to South Africa and South African law. Further, Jurisprudence provides the reader with an introduction that contains a metatheoretical approach and set of tools for systematically evaluating the man and various theoretical claims found within the book and in the subject more generally.
