What philosophical school of thought heavily influenced Dworkin's legal philosophy?
Empiricism
Existentialism
Naturalism
Interpretivism
Answer
Interpretivism heavily influenced Dworkin's legal philosophy. This philosophical school of thought argues that the law is not a set of rules that can be applied in a mechanical way, but rather an interpretive process. This means that judges must interpret the law in light of the particular facts of the case, and the broader values of the society in which they live.
