Cardozo examines the meaning of justice, the science of values and
the relationship between individual and society. Originally
published: New York: Columbia University Press, 1928. v, 142 pp.
His many references in these lectures to Greek philosophy show how
great a part his early classical training played in the formation
of his ideas; in relating his general principles to the concrete
cases which, in his words, he used as a kind of legal litmus paper,
he was a true Aristotelian. --ARTHUR L. GOODHART, Five Jewish
Lawyers of the Common Law 59-60.
The paradoxes or puzzles of legal science are, in many cases, not
peculiar to the law, as Judge Cardozo s discussion impliedly
recognizes. In legal controversies there happen to be presented, in
formal opposition, the conflicting claims which it is the function
of all who work with and for men -- legislators, administrators and
judges -- to attempt to adjust in some manner that will result in a
minimum of friction in the social order. -- U.S. Law Review 63
(1929):555
