Making Law Bind: Essays Legal and Philosophical

by Tony Honorï

Overview

Expressing views not easily placed within any one school of opinion, this collection of the papers of Tony Honoré reflects the author's contribution, as both critic and participant in debate, to the study of legal philosophy over the last twenty-five years. His wide-ranging essays cover such topics as motivation to conform to the law, norms and obligations, and rights and justice, and conclude with an essay supporting the use of law to encourage or reinforce morality.

Editorial Reviews

"Making Law Bind is an example of Oxonian legal theory at its best. It brings together a number of substantial and elegant contributions to conversations about issues that are central to the agenda of an important group of legal philosophers."—Law

"Honore gives us good reason to believe that such a theory may be developed plausibly, and would be well worth developing."—The Philosophical Review

"Clear, rich and deeply nuanced."—Ethics
