Jurisprudence, Fourth Edition commences with a comprehensive and in-depth account of the three main sources of jurisprudence: classical jurisprudence, substantive jurisprudence and adjunctive jurisprudence. Classical jurisprudence is a historical source of jurisprudence and traces the evolution of natural law and positive law to modern times. Substantive jurisprudence as the primary source of jurisprudence is comprised of the modern theories of naturalism and positivism, the juristic theories of Ronald Dworkin and American legal theory. Adjunctive jurisprudence as a secondary source of jurisprudence is comprised of socio-legal theory and historico-legal theory save only insofar as those theories recognise law as a social or historical phenomenon. This book also introduces and develops a new analytical concept of jurisprudence called the concept of juristic practice. This new concept may be applied when undertaking jurisprudential analyses of legal systems.
