"The Province of Jurisprudence Determined" is a seminal work in legal philosophy, presenting the first part of a series of lectures by John Austin on jurisprudence, also known as the philosophy of positive law. Originally published in 1832 and later edited by his wife, Sarah Austin, this volume lays out Austin's foundational theories, distinguishing positive law from morality and other forms of social rules.
Austin's rigorous analysis and systematic approach had a profound impact on the development of legal thought in the English-speaking world. This book remains essential reading for students and scholars seeking to understand the intellectual roots of modern legal positivism and its continuing relevance to contemporary debates about the nature of law and legal systems.
