“From Legal Realism to Naturalized Jurisprudence” (Leiter)

I’ve posted the penultimate draft of the introduction to my collection of papers on Naturalizing Jurisprudence:  Essays on American Legal Realism and Naturalism in Legal Philosophy,
which Oxford University Press will publish (simultaneously in both
cloth and paper, happily) in 2007 (during the Spring, I hope).  The
introduction, "From Legal Realism to Naturalized Jurisprudence,"
gives a general overview of the papers in the volume and the set of
problems they address, and how they all hang together, more or less.  I’ve posted a short excerpt here.  The book will also include two new Postscripts responding to a variety of critics.
