Features: Truth is important... because without the concept of truth, we would not be rational beings, and we would not consider those who lack this concept to be rational beings. It is one thing to attempt to define the concept of truth or to grasp its essence in a concise phrase; it is another to explore its connections with other concepts. What is truth? Why do we need truth? What is legal truth? Do we need a theory of truth about law? What is the relationship between the theory of law and the theory of truth about law? Dennis M. Patterson, a renowned professor at the Rutgers Law School in the United States, attempts to answer these questions in this book.
