Inhoud:

Smith argues that our legal vocabulary and methods of reasoning presuppose classical ontological commitments that were articulated by thinkers from Aquinas to Coke to Blackstone to Story. But these commitments are out of sync with the world view that now prevails in academic and professional thinking. So our law-talk degenerates into “just words.”
