Features: This book is a collection of essays on tort law, compiled by the editor who gathered tort law essays from the United States from the 1960s to the early 1990s. The selected essays cover numerous theoretical points within the field of tort law, and the chosen articles are theoretical pieces that are easily understandable for those who are just beginning to explore the realm of tort law. By reading this book, we can gain insight into the tort law theory and its evolution in the United States over the past 30 years. Moreover, the significant changes in traditional tort law should have occurred during this 30-year period. The editorial approach of this book is to showcase the theoretical appeal of tort law and explain the impact of interdisciplinary research on tort law. The speculative theory of tort law constitutes the "foundation" and "roots" of tort law, which is precisely why the author refers to this edited work as The Foundations of Tort Law.
