With the incisiveness and lucid style for which he is renowned, Ronald Dworkin has written a masterful explanation of how the Anglo-American legal system works and on what principles it is grounded. Law's Empire is a full-length presentation of his theory of law that will be studied and debated--by scholars and theorists, by lawyers and judges, by students and political activists--for years to come. </p>

Dworkin begins with the question that is at the heart of the whole legal system: in difficult cases how do (and how should) judges decide what the law is? He shows that judges must decide hard cases by interpreting rather than simply applying past legal decisions, and he produces a general theory of what interpretation is--in literature as well as in law--and of when one interpretation is better than others. Every legal interpretation reflects an underlying theory about the general character of law: Dworkin assesses three such theories. One, which has been very influential, takes the law of a community to be only what the established conventions of that community say it is. Another, currently in vogue, assumes that legal practice is best understood as an instrument of society to achieve its goals. Dworkin argues forcefully and persuasively against both these views: he insists that the most fundamental point of law is not to report consensus or provide efficient means to social goals, but to answer the requirement that a political community act in a coherent and principled manner toward all its members. He discusses, in the light of that view, cases at common law, cases arising under statutes, and great constitutional cases in the Supreme Court, and he systematically demonstrates that his concept of political and legal integrity is the key to Anglo-American legal theory and practice. </p>

如果读者早就知道德沃金的理论大概是什么了，那其实也可以通过读这个译本看明白的，这是我个人的经验。 这本书的所有理论都建立在一个假定上，即当我们只有知道一个规则如何具体适用的情况下，我们才能回答“这个规则是什么”这一抽象问题。所以说对一个法律规则适用不适用于...

[按语：“法律帝国（Law’s empire）”一词仿佛隐喻法律的人格化，在前言首段中有出现。此书中Dworkin批评了法律实证主义（用批评时髦的法律语义学的形式），辩护了law as integrity的道德主义法学理想（偏向于自然法学派，但并不主张一种独立于共同体之外的a priori morality...

Dworkin 很牛X。。。

总算一次性从头到尾一字不跳读了一遍，把丢掉的笔记补上了，也做了后面几章的笔记。但感觉还没完全理解。
