This book discusses the role of language within law, and the role of philosophy of language in understanding the nature of law. The book argues that the major re-thinking of the common and ‘common sense’ views about law that have been proposed by various recent legal theorists are unnecessary.
Keywords: law, language, legal theorists, philosophy of language
