The innovative and revolutionary scholarship of the eminent
Austrian legal theorist and professor of Roman law, Eugen Ehrlich
(1862-1922) is of a very high caliber. His work has not only held
its place well in view of what legal theory, especially
sociological legal theory, has to offer, but is also still a
powerful challenge to positions in legal theory that are no longer
defensible. The sociology of law has followed in a direct line of
succession from Ehrlich's observations and ideas as a new and
special discipline linking jurisprudence with sociology.
Because Ehrlich's texts in English have long been unavailable,
many of his ideas, while commonplace in sociological research and
theory, are not commonly attributed to his work. The new
introduction by Klaus Ziegert addresses some of the reasons Ehrlich
has been overlooked in the literature. In so doing, Siegert to
sketches the context in which Ehrlich worked and discusses his
major tenets.
Among the topics covered in Ziegert's substantial introduction
to this volume is the current relevance of Ehrlich's work. He also
addresses the key issues in socio-legal theory and methodology,
which were touched upon by Ehrlich and are still very much at the
cutting edge of socio-legal research and a sociological theory of
law. This book will be of keen interest to students of sociological
theory and law.
