Fundamental Principles of the Sociology of Law by Ehrlich, Ziegert..

Taylor & Francis

Among the topics covered in the introduction to this volume is the current relevance of Eugen Ehrlich's work. It also addresses the key issues in socio-legal theory and methodology. > The innovative and revolutionary scholarship of the eminent Austrian legal theorist and professor of Roman law, Eugen Ehrlich (1862-1922), is of a very high caliber. His work has not only held its place well in view of what legal theory, especially sociological legal theory, has to offer, but is also still a powerful challenge to positions in legal theory that are no longer defensible. The sociology of law has followed in a direct line of succession from Ehrlich's observations and ideas as a new and special discipline linking jurisprudence with sociology. > INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSACTION EDITION, TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE, FOREWORD, INTRODUCTION, I.
