What is Legal Philosophy and the Nature of Law: Some Challenges Considered about?

## Abstract This chapter considers some important contemporary challenges to legal philosophy about the nature of law. The challenges in question respectively allege that legal philosophy about the nature of law is: theoretically imperialist; guilty of guild exclusivity; impossible; too abstract/neglectful of law’s social character; committed to addressing static, staple questions. The chapter engages with each of these challenges in turn, in order to attain a clearer understanding of each challenge and better to appreciate which of them can be dealt with largely within the confines of this chapter, and which of them demand a fuller response which will emerge from the book as a whole. In engaging with these challenges, the chapter also further fleshes out and renders plausible an appropriately metaphysically modest and domain-apt understanding of what it is for law to have a nature that one important part of legal philosophy seeks to explain.
