520 "This is an ambitious work on constitutional theory.
Influenced by the views of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sean
Wilson tackles the problem of how a judge can obey a
document written in ordinary, flexible language. He argues
that whether something is 'constitutional' is not an
historical fact, but is an artisan judgment. Criteria are
set forth showing why some judgments represent superior
connoisseurship and why others do not. Along the way,
Wilson offers a potent critique of originalism. He not
only explains this belief system, but shows why it is
inherently incompatible with the American legal system.
His conclusion is that originalism can only be understood
as a legal ideology, not a meaningful contribution to
philosophy of law. The ways of thinking about
constitutional interpretation provided in the book end up
challenging the scholarship of Ronald Dworkin and numerous
law professors. And the findings also challenge the way
that professors of politics often think about whether a
judge has 'followed law'"--Provided by publisher.
