We live within the law and according to it. It shapes us into who we are: citizens, workers, doctors, spouses, owners. It is a sword, a shield, and a threat.
Law philosophers engage in debates regarding the general part, the interpretative foundation that every legal argument must have. However, we can reverse this image. Every practical legal argument presupposes the abstract foundation provided by the philosophy of law. And when conflicting foundations oppose each other, the legal argument accepts one and rejects the others.
Thus, the reasoning of each judge is itself a piece of legal philosophy, even when the philosophy is hidden and the visible argument is dominated by references to legislation and case law and by descriptions of actual events. The theory of law constitutes the general part of the judicial act, the silent prologue of every court decision.
The `Empire of Law` is a provocative, significant, and multifaceted work. It offers not only a general interpretation of our legal system but also a deeper political theory that explains why we should perceive our legal system in this specific way.
Ultimately, Dworkin seeks a theory of everything in the realm of moral and political reflection: legal thought, personal ethics, and political dispute are addressed through the lens of a unified perspective.
