Edward H. Levi served the University of Chicago for most of his
professional life, as a professor, dean of the law school, provost,
and eventually president. Gathered here are fourteen talks he
delivered between 1963 and 1969 that include such topics as the
role of the university; the purposes of undergraduate and liberal
education, professional training, and graduate research; the
relations between the university and its surroundings; and the
causes of student unrest. Throughout these talks, the reader will
find expressions of Levi's essential belief that "the university
must stand for reason and for persuasion by reasoning."
Originally published in 1949, An Introduction to Legal Reasoning is
widely acknowledged as a classic text. As its opening sentence
states, "This is an attempt to describe generally the process of
legal reasoning in the field of case law and in the interpretation
of statutes and of the Constitution." In elegant and lucid prose,
Edward H. Levi does just that in a concise manner, providing an
intellectual foundation for generations of students as well as
general readers. For this edition, the book includes a substantial
new foreword by leading contemporary legal scholar Frederick
Schauer that helpfully places this foundational book into its
historical and legal contents, explaining its continuing value and
relevance to understanding the role of analogical reasoning in the
law. This volume will continue to be of great value to students of
logic, ethics, and political philosophy, as well as to members of
the legal profession and everyone concerned with problems of
government and jurisprudence.
