Abstract

Hadley Arkes: Beyond the Constitution. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1990. Pp. 288. $24.95.)

Hadley Arkes's latest book is Beyond the Constitution and it is virtually a tour de force. Author of The Philosopher in The City and First Things, in the new work Arkes persuasively criticizes both liberal and conservative constitutionalism as well as their common legal theoretical base, displaying all the while the philosophical astuteness and elegant prose his prior work has accustomed readers to expect. Anyone remotely interested in constitutional law should read this book.
