This book investigates the extent to which various scholarly labels
are appropriate for the work of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. As Louis
Menand wrote, "Holmes has been called a formalist, a positivist, a
utilitarian, a realist, a historicist, a pragmatist, (not to
mention a nihilist)." Each of the eight chapters investigates one
label, analyzes the secondary texts that support the use of the
term to characterize Holmes's philosophy, and takes a stand on
whether or not the category is appropriate for Holmes by assessing
his judicial and nonjudicial publications, including his books,
articles, and posthumously published correspondences. The thrust of
the collection as a whole, nevertheless, bends toward the stance
that Holmes is a pragmatist in his jurisprudence, ethics, and
politics. The final chapter, by Susan Haack, makes that case
explicitly. Edited by Seth Vannatta, this book will be of
particular interest to students and faculty working in law,
jurisprudence, philosophy, intellectual history, American Studies,
political science, and constitutional theory.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., is considered by many to be the most
influential American jurist. The voluminous literature devoted to
his writings and legal thought, however, is diverse and
inconsistent. In this study, which was originally published in
2007, Frederic R. Kellogg follows Holmes's intellectual path from
his early writings through his judicial career. He offers a fresh
perspective that addresses the views of Holmes's leading critics
and explains his relevance to the controversy over judicial
activism and restraint. Holmes is shown to be an original legal
theorist who reconceived common law as a theory of social inquiry
and who applied his insights to constitutional law. From his
empirical and naturalist perspective on law, with its roots in
American pragmatism, emerged Holmes's distinctive judicial and
constitutional restraint. Kellogg distinguishes Holmes from
analytical legal positivism and contrasts him with a range of
thinkers.

With Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Legal Logic, Frederic R.
Kellogg examines the early diaries, reading, and writings of
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935) to assess his
contribution to both legal logic and general logical theory.
Through discussions with his mentor Chauncey Wright and others,
Holmes derived his theory from Francis Bacon's empiricism,
influenced by recent English debates over logic and scientific
method, and Holmes's critical response to John Stuart Mill's 1843 A
System of Logic. Conventional legal logic tends to focus on the
role of judges in deciding cases. Holmes recognized input from
outside the law--the importance of the social dimension of legal
and logical induction: how opposing views of "many minds" may
converge. Drawing on analogies from the natural sciences, Holmes
came to understand law as an extended process of inquiry into
recurring problems. Rather than vagueness or contradiction in the
meaning or application of rules, Holmes focused on the relation of
novel or unanticipated facts to an underlying and emergent social
problem. Where the meaning and extension of legal terms are
disputed by opposing views and practices, it is not strictly a
legal uncertainty, and it is a mistake to expect that judges alone
can immediately resolve the larger issue.
