Features: The Province of Jurisprudence Determined is a classic of nineteenth-century English jurisprudence, a subject on which Austin ultimately had a profound impact. His book is primarily a meticulous exposition of most of the core concepts of his legal philosophy, including his command conception of law, his separation of law and morality, and his theory of sovereignty. However, almost a quarter of the book consists of an interpretation and defense of the principle of utility.
