James Bernard Murphy is professor of government at Dartmouth College. He is the author of several books, including The Moral Economy of Labor: Aristotelian Themes in Economic Theory, published by Yale University Press.
"Original and persuasive. . . . Murphy makes the important historical point that we must look much deeper in the history of western legal theory to understand how positive law acquired its deep incoherence."?Charles J. Reid, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota
"An important and successful effort to trace the concept of positive law in both the natural law and legal positivist traditions, this book is an extraordinarily impressive integration of classical philosophy, political theory, legal history, and jurisprudence."?Frederick Schauer, Harvard University
"Murphy's erudite and beautifully written study not only meticulously investigates the subtleties of a fundamental concept?positive law?but shows that without understanding them one will misinterpret some key figuresin intellectual history."?James Gordley, School of Law, University of California at Berkeley
?An important and very satisfying contribution to legal theory and history.??Russell Hittinger, University of Tulsa
"Meticulously researched. . . . A searching examination of the concept of positive law?apparently the first such book length study?in the works of four seminal legal philosophers, Plato, St. Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Hobbes, and John Austin, allowing Murphy to draw magisterial conclusions about the jurisprudence of positive law."?Howard Bromberg, Review of Metaphysics
