Possibly the most important contribution to legal philosophy in the last decade. Dworkin advances the thesis that the recognition and enforcement of political rights is an intrinsic function of adjudication. Using the U.S. Supreme Court as a model Dworkin defends the idea of rights as 'trumps' over collective aims. He also defends the shift towards egalitarian values, arguing that the most fundamental right is the right to participate in decision-making (a due process right).

Beginning with a basic set of individual rights the author attempts to work out what theory of the state and social justice legitimately follows from these rights. The book is a controversial espousal of libertarian principles.

RAWLS, JOHN. A Theory of justice. Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1971. Pp. xv + 607. ISBN 0 19 881301 5.
This book is possibly the most important book on political philosophy and ethics to appear in recent years. Rawls attempts to make out a case for a liberal welfare state. But in the course of doing so he touches on a great many areas to do with rights. The book contains an important discussion of civil disobedience and of liberties in general. Rawls also has made due process and participatory rights central to his very concept of justice.
