This edited volume explores ideas of legal realism which emerge
through the works of Russian legal philosophers. Apart from the
well-known American and Scandinavian versions of legal realism,
there also exists a Russian one: readers will discover fresh
perspectives and that the collection of early twentieth century
ideas on law discussed in Russia can be understood as a unified
school of legal thought - as Russian legal realism. These chapters
by renowned European and Eastern European legal philosophers add to
ongoing discussions about the nature of law, especially in the
context of developments around our scientific knowledge about the
mind and behaviour. Analyses of legal phenomena carried out by
legal realists in Russia offer novel arguments in favour of
embracing psychological and sociological perspectives on the law.
The book includes analysis of the St. Petersburg school of legal
philosophy and Leon Petrazycki's psychological theory of law. This
original and multifaceted research on Russian realists is of
considerable value to an international audience. Researchers and
postgraduate students of law, legal theory and legal ethics will
find the book particularly appealing, but it will also interest
those investigating the philosophy or sociology of law, or legal
history.
