Lloyd, Dennis. - The Idea of law.

London : Penguin Books, 1964. Paperback. 363 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - Like it or not - and many from Plato to Marx have disliked it - law is a central concept in human society: without it indeed, there would be no society. In a work of impressive range and authority Lord Lloyd shows how law fits in with man's conception of his relation both to his own society and to the world at large. The titles of the chapters open up the great areas of thought and action which are the law's concern -Law and Force: Law and Morals: Law and Justice; Law and Freedom; Law, Sovereignty, and the State. The book moves from a survey of what different societies have thought and now think about the role of law to a study of the interaction of legal and social concepts, and concludes with an important final chapter on some of the more pressing problems which the Idea of Law may have to tackle in the imimediate future. Dennis Lloyd, Baron Lloyd of Hampstead (1915-1992) was Quain Professor of Jurisprudence in the University of London and has since 1937 been in practice at the Bar. This combination of academic authority and practical experience gives The Idea of Law a unique perspective.
