Naturalizing Jurisprudence

Naturalizing Jurisprudence gathers together Brian Leiter's most influential essays on the subject of American Legal Realism. The essays provide an overview of Leiter's redefinition of Legal Realism and its relationship with other models of legal and philosophical thought, from naturalism in philosophy to Critical Legal Studies.

Brian Leiter is one of the leading proponents of the use and application of so-called 'naturalistic developments' in contemporary philosophy to central questions in analytic jurisprudence. He is also arguably the leading philosophical interpreter of legal realism. In Naturalizing Jurisprudence, he collects many of his most important essays on these topics, organized by theme, and presents previously unpublished responses to critics. The result is a work that goes well beyond the individual essays to present a trenchant, multi-faceted and mutually-reinforcing set of challenges to core views and methodologies that are prevalent in the field. In an important sense, the book is also agenda setting... This is thus an important book by one of the most influential legal philosophers of our time.
