An Introduction to the Philosophy of Law [1922] (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781584773276)

The published version of Pound's Storrs Lectures delivered at Yale University during the academic year 1921-1922, this book outlines the philosophy of law from antiquity to the twentieth century. "Dean Pound has given us a clear, concise introduction to the philosophy of the law. It is so concise that it is impossible to summarize it so as to give any idea of its wealth of learning. It is as popular in its method of presentation as an introduction to philosophy can be. (...) An excellent, impartial and concise presentation of the subject, it leaves us with the uneasy feeling that neither philosophy nor law, nor any combination thereof, has led the way as often as it should to any creative or constructive juristic system." William Herbert PageHarvard Law Review 36 (1922):115-117Roscoe Pound [1870-1964] was a pre-eminent legal educator, a prolific and influential writer and a leading figure in the development of sociological jurisprudence. A professor at Harvard Law School for most of his career, and its dean from 1916-1936, he taught throughout the world in his later years.307 pp.
