  • Descrição: Ronald Dworkin is the preeminent legal philosopher of the past half century. And Dworkin argues further against the purely pragmatic accounts in which law is simply a matter of deciding which choices will maximize the community's ability to achieve its substantive aims. It is perhaps unsurprising that Dworkin's prose and his central ideas have come to express conventional wisdom in discourse about law. At the heart of his affirmative contribution is a picture of the law as an enterprise that provides the best constructive interpretation of the community's legal practice, where fundamental principles of justice, fairness, procedural due process, and equality not only hold sway but also furnish the frame of reference for measuring the coherence and integrity of competing accounts of legal rules and precedents. The mark of a great teacher is to ask questions that drive the listener into a lifelong search for answers. He was a great teacher as well as a great legal philosopher.
