Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. James O. Urmson's copy of the First Edition, with his ink signature 'Urmson' on front flyleaf. xxxii, 454 pp, 1 leaf. Original cloth. Some marginal pencilling, else Near Fine, without dust jacket. A fine association copy, linking two members of the Oxford school of philosophy. Urmson: Emeritus Professor of Stanford University and an Emeritus Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Author of Philosophical Analysis and The Emotive Theory of Ethics, and editor of The Encyclopaedia of Western Philosophy. Stanford published a festschrift for Urmson in 1988, Human Agency: Language, and Duty, and Value: Philosophical Essays in Honor of J. O. Urmson (by Jonathan Dancy, J. M. E. Moravcsik, C. C. W. Taylor). Urmson edited the Philosophical Papers of John L. Austin (1911-1960), one of Hart's greatest influences, as well as Austin's How to Do Things With Words. 'By 1945, Ayer later wrote, 'the philosophical climate had undergone a drastic change. It was not just that the older men had died or retired; their outlook had vanished with them. Leading members of the 'Wee Teas' (by now virtually the senior generation) and of the Berlin-Austin group, together with an influx of newly appointed fellows and lecturers, some from Wittgenstein's circle (Waismann, Paul, Anscombe, Toulmin), some of pre-war vintage (H. L. A. Hart, J. O. Urmson, Strawson), some of immediate post-war provenance (R. M. Hare, D. F. Pears), G. J. Warnock), transformed philosophy in Britain and affected the practice of philosophy throughout the English-speaking world . . . Among those who attended [Austin's] 'Saturday mornings' over the years were Marcus Dick, Grice, Hampshire, Hare, Hart, P. H. Nowell-Smith, Paul, Pears, Strawson, Urmson, Warnock and A. D. Woozley' (P. M. S. Hacker, Wittgenstein's Place in Twentieth-Century Analytic Philosophy, 1996, pp. 148-9, 151). Hart biographer Nicola Lacey 'describes Hart's early work, as illustrated by Causation in the Law, as the careful unpacking of legal and philosophical concepts to demonstrate their contextual and professional use. Hart and Honoré argued that the concept of causation in law is neither purely 'scientific', as in physics, nor a rubric whose purpose is to allocate legal responsibility on policy grounds. Instead, they contended it is a distinctive blend of legal doctrines informed by both scientific analogies and policy considerations. Its meaning can only be understood through application. The normative implications of this approach were to advance an intermediate position between those who believed that legal doctrines were open-ended and dictated by a combination of ideology, power, and policy-driven legal rules, and those who believed that legal actors were significantly constrained by the integrity of timeless principles of law' (G. Edward White, 'Getting Close to H. L. A. Hart', review of Lacey, A Life of H L A Hart: The Nightmare and the Noble Dream, 2004, for Melbourne University Law Review, 2005).
