Taking Rights Seriously

Taking Rights Seriously is a landmark book on philosophy of law, first published in 1977, by Ronald Dworkin. In it, Dworkin argues against the dominant philosophies of legal positivism, as described by H.L.A. Hart, and utilitarianism by proposing that rights of the individual against the state exist outside of the written law and precede the interest of the majority.
