Dr. David Dyzenhaus

David Dyzenhaus, Department of Philosophy and Faculty of Law, University of Toronto, is a leading legal philosopher whose work tackles the relationship between law and morality, and between these and political practice. His scholarship exposes some of the deep tensions in liberal theory, by working through these tensions in the context of the apartheid legal order, pornography and the freedom of expression, administrative law and Weimar legal theory. What has emerged from his scholarship is the development of a compelling anti-positivist position as well as a clear demonstration of the importance of legal theory for legal practice.
