Alf Ross (1899-1979) was, in H.L.A. Hart’s words, ‘the most acute and best-equipped philosopher’ of Scandinavian legal realism. On Law and Justice provides a comprehensive outline of his legal realist position, offering a consistently empirical research programme that simultaneously recognizes the distinctly normative character of law. Ross’s legal realism avoids the standard critiques against behaviourist reductionism while still remaining categoricallydistinct from legal positivism and natural law. This new edition features an introduction by Jakob v. H. Holtermann, clarifying Ross’s general philosophical project and detailing the sophisticated dual distinction between internal and external aspects of law that provides a counterpoint to Hart’s celebrated analysis. This new translation will allow readers to appreciate Ross’s insights into the ongoing empirical turn in legal scholarship and related attempts to associate legal realism with broader philosophical trends.
