The book is an intellectual history of the work of Western jurists
from ancient Rome to the present. It discusses the Roman jurists,
the medieval civilians and canon lawyers, the late scholastics, the
natural law schools of the 17th and 18th centuries, the positivism
and conceptualism of the 19th century and its influence on common
law, and the reaction against conceptualism since the late 19th
century. Rarely have jurists worked alone. Rather, they have worked
in schools, each of which pursued a different project. The projects
of the jurists had one element in common: they were attempts to
understand and explain the law. Commitment to that project defines
the work of a jurist and distinguishes it from the work of others
who take part in fashioning and applying the law. Yet the project
of each school of jurists had goals and methods of its own. By
identifying them, this study shows how the jurists themselves
understood their work and how these goals and methods shaped and
limited what each school could achieve.
