Features: This book is a collection of essays on tort law, compiled by the editor who gathered tort law papers 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 papers are accessible theoretical articles for those new to the study of tort law. By reading this book, we can gain insight into the tort law theories and their evolution in the United States over the past 30 years. Moreover, the major 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 theories of tort law form the "foundation" and "roots" of tort law, which is why the author refers to this edited work as The Foundations of Tort Law.
