About this book
Political theorist Jeremy Waldron makes a bracing case against identifying rule of law with predictability. Seeing the rule of law as just one value to which democracies aspire, he embraces thoughtfulness rather than rote rule-following, flexibility even at the cost of vagueness, and emphasizing procedure and argument over predictable outcomes.
Reviews
Jeremy Waldron is our leading living philosophical writer on the rule of law. In crystal-clear prose informed by real-life illustrations, he reveals the evaluative depth to be found in a relatively thin conception of the rule of law, provided we take more seriously its neglected procedural and institutional aspects.

This collection helps us to appreciate the multidimensional richness of Jeremy Waldron's views about the elusive ideal of the rule of law and its contribution to our collective and individual lives. His careful use of examples and down-to-earth prose makes difficult ideas entirely accessible.

The best book on the rule of law written in the past half century—immensely learned, richly imaginative, and deeply insightful. Jeremy Waldron exemplifies the thoughtfulness that he highlights in discussing the elements that the rule of law requires and the values that it promotes.
