Jurisprudence: Themes and Concepts, 2nd Edition

'Professors Veitch, Christodoulidis and Farmer have created a very modern tool here breaking from the old approaches to the book is very well described as 'accessible, interdisciplinary and socially informed' and successfully takes account of the most recent developments in current jurisprudential thought. It is just what I need to explain modern jurisprudence to the worried student!' Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers, UK

'This book is the best introduction to the study of jurisprudence I have come across. It provides students with a systematic and well-balanced approach…while also concretely illuminating the social significance of the law. The tutorials are very helpful in contextualizing the rich material presented by some of the UK’s leading contemporary legal theorists.' Hans Lindahl, Professor of Legal Philosophy, Tilburg University, The Netherlands

'A thoughtful and reflective approach; one that is not only sensible, but long overdue.' David Seymour, Lancaster University, UK

Reviews for the first edition:

'An excellent textbook. It adopts a new pedagogic approach to the teaching legal philosophy. Instead of lingering on the "old knowledge delivering" model of teaching jurisprudence…[it creates] a well defined learning environment that stimulates students critical thinking.' Vito Breda, Cardiff University, UK

'The integrated approach taken by the authors illustrates the true utility of jurisprudence – not as some dry philosophical subject, but as central to the development of legal thought in all areas of law.' John McGarry, Edge Hill University, UK
