Pure Theory of Law by Hans Kelsen
The Concept of Law by H.L.A. Hart
Taking Rights Seriously by Ronald Dworkin

I'm currently writing my master's dissertation on philosophy of Law and these books are intro-tier to much of modern legal scholarship. Although Kelsen is usually an outsider in the Anglosphere, it's also good to look at his normativist project.

Read Plato’s Republic, then Aristotle’s Nicomacean Ethics, Spinoza’s Ethics, Bentham for shitty awful utilitarianism, Kant for based Retributivism, and Locke I guess if you feel that is necessary.

Then read Rawls and Nozick and be done with it, because “justice” is mostly fluff. We all know it’s intuitive.

Legal lit is not about justice, you absolute doofus.

>Kelsen was born in Prague into a middle-class, German-speaking, Jewish family.
> His father was a Jewish tailor of German and Polish origin
>Ronald Dworkin was born in 1931 in Providence, Rhode Island, United States, the son of Madeline (Talamo) and David Dworkin. His family was Jewish.

if you wanna learn about "laws" just read capitalism and schizophrenia

I liked John Chipman Gray's The Nature and Sources of Law. Have been considering reading The Rule Against Perpetuities at some point.

Here you go buddy.

>Leaves out Hobbes
>Reccs Bentham
Embarrassing

>“When ignorance reigns in society and disorder in the minds of men, laws are multiplied, legislation is expected to do everything, and each fresh law being a fresh miscalculation, men are continually led to demand from it what can proceed only from themselves, from their own education and their own morality.” It is no revolutionist who says this, nor even a reformer. It is the jurist, Dalloy, author of the Collection of French law known as “Repertoire de la Legislation.” And yet, though these lines were written by a man who was himself a maker and admirer of law, they perfectly represent the abnormal condition of our society.

>(...) In short, a law everywhere and for everything! A law about fashions, a law about mad dogs, a law about virtue, a law to put a stop to all the vices and all the evils which result from human indolence and cowardice.

> We are so perverted by an education which from infancy seeks to kill in us the spirit of revolt, and to develop that of submission to authority; we are so perverted by this existence under the rule of a law, which regulates every event in life — our birth, our education, our development, our love, our friendship — that, if this state of things continues, we shall lose all initiative, all habit of thinking for ourselves.

Sorry it was a pre-coffee post
That said, Thomas Hobbes is a hack and Leviathin is boomer-tier trash

>no one has mentioned Rousseau yet
this board is garbage. Discourse on Inequality and The Social Contract are key indicators of the western conception of democracy.

Do you guys agree with me that Justice is the most-difficult of human areas? Everything else seems so straightforward compared to Justice...

(Goodness, Beauty, Love, etc...but not Justice)

Yea Forums mods are butthurt second choice school fags or those who didn't get into law school at all.

>Plato and Aristotle
>Not Solon or actual fucking law makers
>Not even Cicero

>Spinoza Bentham and Kant
>Not Bacon or Hugo Grotius

>Locke I guess
You're purely fucking guessing user, you haven't even read half of those if you think they're law
