Review
"This is an essential text for philosophy students, pre-law students, and for students in their first year of law school. In its seven chapters, this volume offers thoughtful reflections on such topics as the concept of law, law and morality, constitutional law, crime and punishment, blind justice and the debate between equal protection under the law and freedom of speech, private law and the limits of economic rationality, and concludes challenges...The author has produced a much-needed resource that by its nature is complex and unwieldy. Clearly written, concise, and comprehensive, the author's approach is a case-oriented and problem-solving one that greatly benefits the student who is charged with exploring the nuances in the competing points of view." -- American Reference Books Annualmention- Book News Inc./ August 2007"David Ingram's Law: Key Concepts in Philosophy captures virtually the entire realm of modern thought that forms the philosophical basis for civilized society structured on the basis of constitutions and laws. Wonderfully researched and beautifully articulated, Ingram's volume covers an entire spectrum of dimensions that range from economic, political, international, ethical, and other aspects relating to modern society. This book is highly recommended for a general reader, for an introductory course on Law and Philosophy, or for the serious scholar."- Steven Napier, Metapsychology Online Reviews -- Metapsychology Online Reviews"...the volume is high in both quality and utility.
