About this book
"In recent decades, Oliver Wendell Holmes has been praised as "the only great American legal thinker" and the "most illustrious figure in the history of American law." In Law without Values, Albert W. Alschuler paints a darker picture of Justice Holmes as a distasteful man who, among other things, espoused Social Darwinism, favored eugenics, and as Holmes himself acknowledged, came "devilish near to believing that might makes right."" "Alschuler's debunking of Holmes, together with his critique of contemporary legal scholarship and proposal for the resurrection of concepts such as justice and duty, will be a lightning rod for discussion and debate."--BOOK JACKET.
