Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book presents a rigorous analysis that significantly shaped the study of English and American law. Austin's systematic approach brought coherence to a previously chaotic legal profession. Initially recognized only by a select group, including notable figures like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, it gained wider attention posthumously. The work ignited debates over the nature of law, its definition as a command with sanctions, and the distinctions between legal authority, political power, and morality, ultimately leading to its lasting influence and recognition.
