This book explores the intellectual contexts in which the
development of tort law took place in Europe. With contributions
from legal theorists, social and intellectual historians and
comparative lawyers, it examines how conceptions of community and
responsibility changed over time, providing a context both for new
notions of the role of the state in protecting its citizens and for
new interpretations of older private law concepts. The book also
examines how the law of tort was shaped and applied by judges in
the codified and uncodified systems, comparing the common law
system of England with the systems in France and Germany, whose
codes were created in very different contexts. The book includes
chapters that look at the role of experts in shaping the law's
response to workplace hazards and concludes with a discussion of
the role of academic networks in developing the notion of a
European private law.
