- A provocative and controversial questioning of the role of the law
- Of obvious relevance to academic and practising lawyers in many intellectual and geographical jurisdictions (it interrogates their whole raison d'etre) and of interest to professional philosophers, those interested in the history of ideas, and general readers
- Accessibly and engagingly written, with contempt for technical jargon
