Justice for Hedgehogs has just this week appeared in my local bookstore, though it's still unavailable via Amazon.com. So, expect the book any day. When philosophers get senior, they win the privilege of writing on everything under the sun, and that's apparently what Dworkin has done. His reach for a unification of conceptuality across specialty topics looks like a portent of Heidegger's question of Being. Problem is, the world is run by foxes.
