Dworkin, Ronald Myles (1931- )        

                     American political philosopher. In Taking Rights
                    Seriously (1977) and Law's Empire (1986) Dworkin
                    defends a version of legal positivism that relies heavily upon
                    the principled adjudication of disputes by the judiciary. His
                    treatment of concrete legal issues concerning abortion and
                    euthanasia is to be found in Life's Dominion (1993). "Objectivity and
                    Truth: You'd Better Believe It" argues that a moderate notion of
                   objectivity secures the objectivity of moral claims.
