MacCormick's work, and works about MacCormick, attract both a domestic and an international audience. Readers will gain an understanding of how MacCormick's Scottish roots, interests and commitments coloured his work - both his distinctively Scottish writings and the overall intellectual outlook that informed his broader legal and philosophical writings. The book provides a well rounded appreciation of the Scottish dimension in MacCormick's thinking and writing. It focuses on a number of prominent Scottish themes in MacCormick's work and life and is structured around four key themes: 1) the nature and identity of a legal system; 2) sovereignty, European integration and Scottish independence; 3) the legacy of the legal and political thought of the Scottish enlightenment; and 4) the role of the academic in the Scottish public sphere. Key Features:* Edited by Neil Walker - a highly respected scholar and thinker, and a prolific writer who has edited many excellent collections of essays.* The editor succeeded MacCormick in the Regius Chair and all of the contributors are closely acquainted with MacCormick the man and the scholar.* The first book to examine MacCormick through a distinctly Scottish lens. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 MacCormick, Neil|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82004396|xCriticism and interpretation.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005576 600 10 MacCormick, Neil|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82004396|xInfluence.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002005444 600 14 MacCormick, Neil. 600 17 MacCormick, Neil.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1786513 650 0 Law|zScotland.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85075185 650 7 Criticism and interpretation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1198648 650 7 Law.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/993678 650 7 Law.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000702 651 7 Scotland.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1206715 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 700 1 Walker, Neil,|d1960-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names /n86107002 830 0 Edinburgh studies in law ;|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/no2006103920|vv. 10. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=461672|zOnline eBook.
