Reference Materials
In addition to the prescribed readings, students will gain useful background from the following works
which may also be referred to as alternative texts in the event of difficulty in obtaining the prescribed
readings.
Lloyd's Introduction to Jurisprudence which is a very substantial work has useful introductory chapters
on the major sections providing a good general survey.
Posner's work provides an excellent discussion about many of the contemporary debates in modern
legal philosophy and is particularly recommended for external students who are unable to attend
lectures.
Some students in the past have found McCoubrey and White’s Textbook on Jurisprudence a useful
alternative work to Harris.
