Books by David Lyons

An introduction to the philosophy of law, offering a modern and critical appraisal of all the main issues and problems.

This volume comprises essays written over a period of twenty years in which Professor Lyons outlines his fundamental views about the nature of law and its relation to morality and justice. The underlying theme of the book is that a system of law has only a tenuous connection with morality and justice.
