Se sostiene que la alternativa al monismo no es necesariamente el desorden. En vez de eso puede ser el pluralismo jurídico. La interpretación oficial del derecho puede ser dividida o equilibrada más que consolidada o eliminada completamente. Equilibrando acertadamente la separación de poderes y el sistema de frenos y contrapesos es posible que no se brinde una solución de principio a la tensión que subyace en el ideal de imperio del derecho, pero se ofrecen alternativas prácticas a la elección entre tiranía y desorden.

Ronald Dworkin attempts to refute the skeptics and defend both legal theory and liberalism. However, the author points out, Dworkin and liberalism are themselves skeptics when it comes to moral principles, and, therefore, they cannot wholly escape from similar skepticism with regard to legal principles. Both Anglo-American and Continental legal history are examined in the course of these arguments.
