When it was originally published in 2005, this book was the first comprehensive study of the meaning and measure of enforceability. While we have long debated what restraints should govern the conduct of our social life, we have paid relatively little attention to the question of what it means to make a restraint enforceable. Focusing on the enforceability of legal rights but also addressing the enforceability of moral rights and social conventions, Mark Reiff explains how we use punishment and compensation to make restraints operative in the world. After describing the various means by which restraints may be enforced, Reiff explains how the sufficiency of enforcement can be measured, and he presents a unified theory of deterrence, retribution, and compensation that shows how these aspects of enforceability are interconnected. Reiff then applies his theory of enforceability to illuminate a variety of real-world problem situations.

Do citizens of a nation such as the United States have a moral duty to obey the law? Do officials, when interpreting the Constitution, have an obligation to follow what that text meant when ratified? To follow precedent? To follow what the Supreme Court today says the Constitution means?These are questions of political obligation (for citizens) and interpretive obligation (for anyone interpreting the Constitution, often officials). Abner Greene argues that such obligations do not exist. Although citizens should obey some laws entirely, and other laws in some instances, no one has put forth a successful argument that citizens should obey all laws all the time. Greene's case is not only "against" obligation. It is also "for" an approach he calls "permeable sovereignty": all of our norms are on equal footing with the state's laws. Accordingly, the state should accommodate religious, philosophical, family, or tribal norms whenever possible.Greene shows that questions of interpretive obligation share many qualities with those of political obligation. In rejecting the view that constitutional interpreters must follow either prior or higher sources of constitutional meaning, Greene confronts and turns aside arguments similar to those offered for a moral duty of citizens to obey the law.

One of the main legal principles in ancient Greece was obedience to the law (nomos). Particularly, its importance is based on the fact that it was a central element for the shaping of a harmonious and powerful polis, in which citizens could flourish and lead a happy life. In addition, good legal order was so important that several sources reveal a strong rejection against any such person who, as tyrants, threatens the integrity of political institutions and prioritizes their own interests above anything else. In this regard, the author known as “Anonymous Iamblichus”, who is thought to have written in the age of the great Sophists, hypothesizes about the existence of a man of steel (adamantinos aner) to show that no one, no matter how extraordinary and powerful, could live outside the law, justice, and community. This book explores the ethical-political meaning of this argument with the intention of reflecting on the value of laws and their authority. Guided by a methodology that combines a philological analysis and a legal philosophy approach, it seeks to emphasize the richness of Anonymous Iamblichus' text to understand the development process of the supremacy of the law in the history of Athenian democracy. Uno de los principales principios jurídicos en el mundo griego antiguo era la obediencia a la ley (nómos). En especial, su importancia se explica porque constituía un elemento central para la conformación de una pólis armónica y poderosa, en la que los ciudadanos puedan desarrollarse y llevar a cabo una vida feliz. Además, el buen orden legal era tan importante que varias fuentes revelan un fuerte rechazo contra toda aquella figura que, como el tirano, atente contra la integridad de las instituciones políticas y priorice ante todo sus propios intereses. Al respecto, el autor conocido como el “Anónimo de Jámblico”, quien al parecer habría escrito en el período de los grandes sofistas, plantea como hipótesis la existencia de un hombre de acero (adamántinos anér) para demostrar que nadie, por más extraordinario y poderoso que sea, podría vivir al margen de la ley, la justicia y la comunidad. En este libro se explora el significado ético-político de tal argumento con el propósito de reflexionar acerca del valor de las leyes y su autoridad. Mediante una metodología que entrecruza el análisis filológico y un enfoque iusfilosófico, se busca acentuar la riqueza del texto del Anónimo para comprender el proceso de desarrollo de la supremacía del derecho en la historia de la democracia ateniense.
