  • Motivation by Ideal.J. David Velleman - 2002 - Philosophical Explorations 5 (2):89-103.

    Talk about law often includes reference to ideals of justice, equality or freedom. But what do we refer to when we speak about ideals in the context of law? This book explores the concept of ideals by combining an investigation of different theories of ideals with a discussion of the role of ideals in law.
