- This 8-chapter book involved a sustained 10-year research effort, requiring deep familiarity and engagement with contemporary work in legal philosophy, philosophy of language, and metaethics. The chapters are all connected by a particular focus with the aim of making progress on a variety of closely connected issues, producing both a novel jurisprudential framework and an extensive analysis of the nature and value of vagueness in the law. One reviewer said: “the book really does make a lot of progress, on an awful lot of issues … it’s full of interesting ideas that push forward long-standing debates.
