Es de mucha utilidad la claridad de Brian Bix en la explicación introductoria a los más importantes temas de la filosofía jurídica. Lo recomiendo también para sintetizar los conocimientos luego de la lectura atenta de obras de autores como Hart, Austin y Kelsen.

not a bad little introduction to the different theories of law and legal interpretation out, there it is somewhat traditionalist, as the leftwing variants don't get much attention.
