Editorial Reviews
Review
“To parallel the importance for America’s legal philosophy of this volume of essays one goes back to [Justice Homes’ Collected Legal Ppapers]… there is the same disinclination to join schools and run her, the same tight sanity… the same acrid and canny capacity to pierce intellectual pretensions, the same final dignity of thought.”
—Harvard Law Review
“… never… has the public been able to benefit by the reflection of the professional philosopher—a philosopher whose interest… has been in the nature and function of the law and its effect upon the lives of men and women… The handicaps, the failings which restrict the judges who are the ultimate arbiters of man’s rights, are here set forth with a wealth of understanding and insight and profound factual knowledge.”
—New York Times
