Book Review by Andrew J. Reck
This book will be welcomed by those who are interested in the philosophy of law. It affords a singular perspective on the nature and function of the law. The author is a distinguished philosopher and emeritus professor at Tulane University, where he chaired the department of philosophy for nearly a quarter of a century and where he subsequently was appointed W.R. Irby Professor of Philosophy and later Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities. For over fifty years and in almost as many volumes, Professor Feibleman has been earnestly engaged in the formulation of a speculative system of philosophy that is relevant to all areas of human activity.1 The book under review is an application of this philosophic system to the field of law. Feibleman first presented part I of this book as the 1973 Rosenthal Lectures at the Northwestern University School of Law, and Chapter X in the pages of The Tulane Law Review.
