"Ronald Dworkin is America's leading legal philosopher . [Law's Eni' pire bears] testimony to his, eminence, evidencing his analytical ingenuity, llpwerful imagination, and elegant conceptualization. No subject ever seems quite the same after one has read Dwprkin's treatment of it."

**Law's Empire is a challenging, important, and richly textured work of legal philosophy written in the vivid and commanding style that Dworkin'Si readers have come to expect . . , [It offers] both a conception of law that explains what our law is and an underlying political theory that explains why we should conceive of our law in that way . . . Dworkin seeks, ultimately, nothing less than a kind of unified field theory of moral justifica' tion: a theory that would unite or at least connect-- personal morality, legal justification, and political legitimacy." / '
