Jurisprudence, Volume 1

Author: Roscoe Pound
Publisher:
Publication Date: Not available
Features: Although Pound already recognized in his writings that the expansion of activities across political boundaries would trigger a shift in legal thinking, as he pointed out, "constructing a theory about the relationship between local legislation and local administration and the universal legal principles suitable for a unified world might become an urgent task for future legal scholars," we still need to set limits on Pound's rather vague predictive "speculation": first, because Pound did not conduct further correlation analysis on the economic activities he referred to, nor did he explore the legal theory thus induced; second, because the nature of economic activities implied in Pound's view of "world law" in determining the orientation of legal theory is highly questionable. This book is suitable for judges, lawyers, legislators, legal teachers, and students, and it does not matter what subjects these students haveed before studying law, whether it is philosophy, history, economics, political science, ethics, or sociology.
