Law and Truth by Dennis Patterson

Patterson applies the modern debate between Realism and Anti-realism to the question of the nature of law. Starting from the question `What is legal knowledge?' he examines the answers provided by the principal comtemporary theories of jurisprudence, concluding that they are all inextricably bound uo with the nature of justification. He concludes with a novel aaccount of legal knowledge as pragmatism.
an interesting and enlightening consideration of the question of what it means to say that a proposition of law is true* Georgia Warnke, Mind Vol.109, No.435 July 2000. *
The great virtues of Patterson's book lie in the clear and intelligent way it sorts through legal theories, distinguishes modes of legal argument, and connects philosophical theories of truth to questions of law. * Georgia Warnke, Mind Vol.109, No.435 July 2000. *
