Taking Rights Seriously is a 1977 book on philosophy of law by Ronald Dworkin. In this landmark book, Dworkin argues against the dominant philosophies of legal positivism, as described by H. L. A. Hart, and utilitarianism by proposing that rights of the individual against the state exist outside of the written law and precede the interest of the majority.
