Stanley Fish and the Future of Pragmatism in Legal Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Stanley Fish's recent book review' measures Richard Posner's The Problems of Jurisprudence2 more by the importance of the questions it raises than by the coherence of its answers. That standard enables Professor Fish to rank Judge Posner's book with the best of post-war legal thought (p 1475). The same standard demands a similar assessment of Fish's review. Few writings match the economy and punch with which it points legal theory in the right direction. Fortunately for all of us-including Fish-the right direction is not the one he says he favors.
