Dyzenhaus exposes the dangers of Schmitt's legal philosophy by situating it in the legal context of constitutional crisis to which he responded. He also points out the severs inadequacies of Kelsen's legal positivism. In a wide-ranging account of the predicaments of contemporary legal and political philosophy, Heller's position is argued to be the most promising of the three.
This study looks at one of the oldest questions in legal philosophy--the relationship between law and legitimacy. Dyzenhaus analyzes the legal theories of three eminent public lawyers of the Weimar era whose theories addressed the problems of legal and political order in a crisis-ridden modern society and demonstrates their relevance to contemporary debates.
