Fifty years on from its original publication, HLA Hart's The Concept of Law is widely recognized as the most important work of legal philosophy published in the twentieth century, and remains the starting point for most students coming to the subject for the first time.

In this third edition, Leslie Green provides a new introduction that sets the book in the context of subsequent developments in social and political philosophy, clarifying misunderstandings of Hart's project and highlighting central tensions and problems in the work.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dry and boring
Reviewed in Australia on 27 December 2020

While I understand that this book is hailed as one of the leading texts for the foundation of legal jurisprudence, I personally found it very hard to follow. As with most philosophy texts, it spends alot of time going over a single point before repeating it a dozen times over.

Obviously this is not my area of interest - but I'm sure those aiming to become legal theorists would find this book more fascinating.

One of the books that helped my daughter pass her IB. It was recommended reading. She got an excellent score and went to UCL so, this book must have been good. so I assume it was a good one.

This was the recommended reading for Final year LLB Jurisprudence in UOL UK, and reading it really gives you an overall understanding to answer any questions you may face at the examination. My experience with it had been great. I recommend it to any examination candidate as well for any one wishing to enhance their knowledge on the subject of Legal Theory.
