This article discusses various aspects of the methodological approach to philosophy of law found in the work of Joseph Raz. It focusses on two broad themes in Raz’s work: that we should elucidating practices and concepts as we find them; and the role of evaluation in constructing theories of law. Under the first theme, I consider Raz’s views on whether legal philosophy is universal, or parochial, or both, and the role played in theories of law of the self-understandings of those living under law. In considering the second theme, I discuss Raz’s attempts to carve out an “evaluative-but-not-morally-evaluativeµ approach to constructing theories of law. According to this approach, evaluative judgements of importance and significance are crucial to successful theories of law, but in making such judgements legal philosophers are not yet taking a stance on the moral merit of those aspects of law picked out as important to explain
