 A number of subsequent authors who have revisited the Hart–Ross debate have expressed broad sympathy for Ross’ claims to have been misunderstood. (See Pattaro 2009, pp. 545–546; Eng 2011; Holtermann 2014, p. 166 n. 4.) Nonetheless, as a matter of intellectual history, Hart’s critique had its effect. There has, however, been a recent uptick in interest in Scandinavian Legal Realism, perhaps owing in part to a broader renewal of interest in naturalism in legal philosophy. This has not been limited to strictly historical or exegetical work, but has included efforts to mine the Scandinavian Realists’ writings for philosophical strategies or insights that might help advance contemporary legal philosophy, or to offer fruitful rational reconstructions of their ideas. (See, e.g., Holtermann 2014; Spaak 2014, Ch. 10.)
