"This is a terrific collection. Dworkin's work hasbeen hugely influential across a wide range of issues in moral,legal and political philosophy. Here that work is interrogated by aquite outstanding cast of critics, and Dworkin replies. For once,'indispensable' seems about right."

"In this collection we see why Ronald Dworkin is the mostimportant theorist of Anglo-American jurisprudence in this era: notonly his clarity and vision but his unique ability to stimulatethoughtful and imaginative commentary. This is the rare collectionworth reading for the whole as well as its parts."
