Radin, Max.  Law as Logic and Experience. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1940. ix, [1], 171 pp. Reprinted 2000 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 99-30670. ISBN 1-58477-008-2. Cloth. $55. "Although this volume does not purport to be a serious contribution to legal science or to legal philosophy, it is full of the mellow wisdom, the gracious erudition, the provoking phrase, and the human sympathy that make almost anything that Max Radin says or writes worth pondering. It presents a series of lectures on two texts: the dictum of Coke, J. 'Reason is the life of the law,' and the dissenting opinion of Holmes, J., 'The life of the law has not been logic, it has been experience.'" Felix S. Cohen, Harvard Law Review 54:711.

Reprint of the first and only edition. Originally published: Boston: Beacon Press, 1966. [vi], 150 pp. (Beacon Series in Classics of the Law). Reprinted 1999, 2012 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. Three lectures by the Harvard Law School professor examine legal positivism and natural law. In the course of his analysis Fuller discusses Kelsen's theory as a reactionary theory, and Hobbes' theory of sovereignty. He defines legal positivism as the viewpoint that draws a distinction "between the law that is and the law that ought to be..." (p.5) and interprets natural law as that which tolerates a combination of the two. He looks at the effects of positivism's continued influence on American legal thinking and concludes that law as a principle of order is necessary in a democracy.
