Libro arrivato in ritardo ma le mie 4 stelle sono piu cbe altro per il fatto che è arrivato abbastanza rovinato. La copertina è un po rovinata e forma delle pieghe... per quello che è costato mi aspettavo arrivasse un libro perfetto sinceramente

I write this review from the view point of a lay reader generally interested in law, justice and political philosophy.

I found this book very lucid, well organized and comprehensive. Hart presents concept of a law in a descriptive manner as it is generally practiced. He develops the concept with comparing and differentiating it from commands and orders. He then traces its development from simple primitive societies to the complex realities of our times. He proposes that laws are union of,i) rules which govern individual behaviour and: ii) rules for making such rules.
He also discusses relationship of law with morals and cocerns of substantive versus formal justice in a legal system.

The book acknowledges prevalence of various conceptions of law in different societies but does not make any value judgement about them.

This edition contains a post script in which Hart has replied to his critics. I found this portion rather technical and think that it can be safely skipped by a general reader.

I recommend this book to any one interested in understanding cotemporary concept of law and legal system.
