Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the reader to legal philosopher John Austin's theory of sovereignty and law, which distinguished between 'positive law' and 'morality'. Austin defined 'positive law' as the command of a sovereign. In so doing, the author presents not only Austin's positive contributions to the philosophy of jurisprudence but also reveals the limitations of Austin's theory, which fail to capture essential elements of law. The author endeavors to reconstruct Austin's doctrine, suggesting areas where his analysis could be expanded. The author's aim is to provide students of legal science with a critical interpretation of Austin's theory. Questions and notes are included to stimulate the reader's critical faculties and enhance their understanding of Austin's complex ideas.
