Many legal theorists maintain that laws are effective because we internalize them, obeying even when not compelled to do so. In a comprehensive reassessment of the role of force in law, Frederick Schauer disagrees, demonstrating that coercion, more than internalized thinking and behaving, distinguishes law from society s other rules. Reinvigorating ideas from Jeremy Bentham and John Austin, and drawing on empirical research as well as philosophical analysis, Schauer presents an account of legal compliance based on sanction and compulsion, showing that law s effectiveness depends fundamentally on its coercive potential. Law, in short, is about telling people what to do and threatening them with bad consequences if they fail to comply. Although people may sometimes obey the law out of deference to legal authority rather than fear of sanctions, Schauer challenges the assumption that legal coercion is marginal in society. Force is more pervasive than the state s efforts to control a minority of disobedient citizens. When people believe that what they should do differs from what the law commands, compliance is less common than assumed, and the necessity of coercion becomes apparent. Challenging prevailing modes of jurisprudential inquiry, Schauer makes clear that the question of legal force has sociological, psychological, political, and economic dimensions that transcend purely conceptual concerns. Grappling with the legal system s dependence on force helps us understand what law is, how it operates, and how it helps organize society."

与Hart的交锋领域可能仅是对于officials有没有internal acceptance的判断。学生时代最后一篇论文选题,workshop with Prof. Leiter.
评分前四章讨论了法律概念分析的失败（非本质主义）与法律可否作为独立的行动理由（不可以）；后三章讨论了法律强制力的表现形式、法律与社会规范的互动关系、法律的差异化／分化形态。总体而言紧贴着实证主义的痛处狠戳，可以想见Raz, Gardner, Leslie Green, Shapiro阅读本书时内心的咆哮。未必成为批判实证主义路途上的seminal work，但在十年内可以主导法哲学讨论的方向。
评分据闻本书的中译版将在下半年推出，可以说非常期待了。
