The World's Legal Philosophies (Paperback)

A Solid Introduction to Legal PhilosophyThis lucid, wide-ranging account traces the evolution of the philosophy of law and offers an introduction to its primary authors. Berolzheimer is especially interested in the law's ability to serve as a progressive humanitarian force. This is evident, for example, in the contribution it has made to the emancipation of repressed social classes. "These fundamental questions are discussed by Dr. Berolzheimer in a work of remarkable learning... I have before me as I write the works of Stahl, Krause, and Lasson, dealing with the Philosophy of Law. They are not comparable with this volume in point of research." --Sir John Macdonell, Introduction, xxixFritz Berolzheimer 1869-1920] was a German legal philosopher and author of the five-volume System der Rechts- und Wirtschaftsphilosophie (1904-07).
