Features: From Plato to Marx, although many people have different views on law, it has always been the central concept of human society. To be honest, without it, there would be no society. Lord Lloyd, in this well-organized authoritative work, explains the relationship between law, society, and even the entire world. Each chapter title opens a related field of legal thought and activity—law and coercion; law and morality; law and justice; law and freedom; law, sovereignty, and the state. This book examines the perspectives of different societies throughout history on law, further exploring the interaction between legal concepts and social concepts, and concludes with a highly important final chapter discussing the pressing challenges that law urgently needs to address in the future.
