On the History of the Idea of Law is the first book ever to collect and criticise the basic theories of law propounded by the great philosophers from Plato to the present. The celebrated conservative thinker Shirley Robin Letwin shows how the classical theorists understood the law as a human intervention that made possible the broad liberty that men and women enjoy in modern western societies. She also shows how this theory differs from medieval natural law, Marxist legal theory, contemporary Critical Legal Studies, and feminist jurisprudence.
