Taken together, their essaysprobe and illuminate virtually every salient aspect of Dworkin'swritings on issues in the domain of legal and political morality.With Dworkin's replies, this collection is essential reading foranyone wishing to come to grips with the work of one of the leadingthinkers of our time."

Hillel Steiner, University of Manchester

"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."

Adam Swift, Oxford University

"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."

Philip Bobbitt, The University of Texas
