Essays canvassing sources of law, property, succession, contracts and delicts sketch the varied roles of theoretical narratives - whether internal to Roman doctrine or derived from external influence - and of practical, policy-based solutions in the jurists' thought. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePrincipled reasoning in Roman juristic argument ranges from safeguarding commerce, to the priority of acts or intentions in property transactions, to notions of \u003ci\u003epietas\u003c\/i\u003e, to Platonic conceptions of the market. Pragmatism is discernible in myriad ways, from divergence between form and substance, to extension of legal rules for economic, social or political utility, to emphasis on what parties did rather than what they said. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe distinctive contribution of the book is its survey of different manifestations of principle and pragmatism across Roman private law. The essays -by eminent as well as emerging academics - will stimulate debates and shed new light on this topic, and will be of interest to both scholars and students of Roman law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Spagnolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509938958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509938957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Benjamin Spagnolo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983375073535,"sku":"9781509938957","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_083a72cd-1490-4b23-864e-d1d75685f9e1.jpg?v=1683266266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principle-and-pragmatism-in-roman-benjamin-spagnolo-9781509938957","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
