Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book's focus is on the evolution of law. The author contends that the study of legal evolution begins with social facts and institutions, and the problem always is to determine when and in what form law was applied to a given habit or institution. The author presents a detailed analysis of the various elements of the idea of law and identifies a number of potential evolutionary trends. He emphasizes the importance of identifying the various external, independent forces that may affect the evolution of a legal institution. He posits that the planetary system is a useful analogy to the law because it shows how complex motions of interrelated elements can be consistent with regular evolution. The book concludes with a discussion of the method to be used for tracing the evolution of a legal idea, highlighting the importance of considering both historical and social contexts.
