This anthology consists of 64 historical and contemporary readings (from 1651 to 2006) on the philosophy of Canadian law, including case decisions. Dyzenhaus, Moreau, and Ripstein (law and philosophy, U. of Toronto, Canada) stress that questions about morality and the law are fundamentally questions of political theory. The first section deals with general questions about morality and law, including legal positivism literature and contemporary debates about law and equality, and the role of law as a protector of individual liberty and democratic self-rule. The second section covers contemporary issues such as speech, hate propaganda, and pornography. Incorporated are influential feminist writings. The new edition contains revised and updated readings, new chapters on equality, judicial review, and legal responses to terrorism, and new material on the Chinese Canadian head tax case and its legal implications. Chapters on civil disobedience, the limits of legal order, and abortion have been dropped. The book is meant for students taking philosophy of law courses. There is no index.
