Here is the abstract.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In Justice for Hedgehogs, Ronald Dworkin suggested that we set aside the familiar, \u201ctwo-systems\u201d picture of law and morality, and adopt a \u201cone-system\u201d picture in its place. From the start, many people interpreted Dworkin\u2019s proposal as a striking departure from the views he\u2019d defended in Law\u2019s Empire. That\u2019s not how Dworkin saw his own story, though. In his telling, Justice for Hedgehogs was merely a \u201csupplement\u201d to Law\u2019s Empire, not a \u201csubstitute for\u201d it. As Dworkin saw it, the one-system picture wasn\u2019t a twist held back for his final chapter; it was the story he\u2019d been telling all along. Of course, authors aren\u2019t always right about the best reading of their work. In this case, though, we think it\u2019s the standard story that\u2019s wrong and Dworkin who\u2019s right. In this essay, we marshal the textual evidence for that interpretation of Dworkin\u2019s work. We aim to place Dworkin\u2019s work in its best light, in other words\u2014to show how the chain novel he wrote with himself hangs together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Download the article from SSRN at the link.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=HedgehogsFoxes\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Hershovitz and Steven Schaus, both of the University of Michigan Law School, have published Dworkin in His Best Light.
