In this volume of essays, scholars of the interdisciplinary field of law and literature write about the role of emotion in English law and legal theory in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The law’s claims to reason provided a growing citizenry that was beginning to establish its rights with an assurance of fairness and equity. Yet, an investigation of the rational discourse of the law reveals at its core the processes of emotion, and a study of literature that engages with the law exposes the potency of emotion in the practice and understanding of the law. Examining both legal and literary texts, the authors in this collection consider the emotion that infuses the law and find that feeling, sentiment and passion are integral to juridical thought as well as to specific legislation.

Free Download The Legacy of John Austin’s Jurisprudence By Brian H. Bix (auth.), Michael Freeman, Patricia Mindus (eds.)
2013 | 318 Pages | ISBN: 9400748299 | PDF | 2 MB
This is the first ever collected volume on John Austin, whose role in the founding of analytical jurisprudence is unquestionable. After 150 years, time has come to assess his legacy. The book fills a void in existing literature, by letting top scholars with diverse outlooks flesh out and discuss Austin’s legacy today. A nuanced, vibrant, and richly diverse picture of both his legal and ethical theories emerges, making a case for a renewal of interest in his work. The book applies multiple perspectives, reflecting Austin’s various interests – stretching from moral theory to theory of law and state, from Roman Law to Constitutional Law – and it offers a comparative outlook on Austin and his legacy in the light of the contemporary debate and major movements within legal theory. It sheds new light on some central issues of practical reasoning: the relation between law and morals, the nature of legal systems, the function of effectiveness, the value-free character of legal theory, the connection between normative and factual inquiries in the law, the role of power, the character of obedience and the notion of duty.​

Free Download Armin Von Bogdandy, "Carl Schmitt’s European Jurisprudence "
English | ISBN: 3848771683 | 2022 | 185 pages | PDF | 2 MB
With the publication of the pamphlet The Situation of European Jurisprudence, Schmitt reinvented himself as an author after 1945 and prepared the ground for his work The Nomos of the Earth, which appeared a few months later. The following book offers a productive approach to this hermeneutically demanding and strategic text by providing a translation of the 1950 version and commenting on its historical and philological context. This book then offers plural confrontations, adaptations, and transformations that Schmitt’s text implies for European jurisprudence today. It thus departs from the usual form of a commentary by clearly separating explication and transformation and proposes to employ an actualisation for the twenty-first century.

Free Download Mohammad H. Fadel, "Islamic Jurisprudence, Islamic Law, and Modernity "
English | ISBN: 1957454792 | 2023 | 386 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Mohammad Fadel’s scholarship on Islamic law and legal history ranges from medieval institutions and the history of Islamic legal interpretation to urgent problems relating to the modern reception and re-assessment of Islamic legal doctrine. Fadel’s intellectual concerns focus primarily on the compatibility of the Islamic legal tradition with modern liberal political arrangements, but in his research and writing he also delves into the realm of premodern Islamic legal thought and institutions. His Rawlsian approach leads him to a political reading of the Islamic legal tradition, which he accomplishes by teasing out jurists’ assumptions about politics, economics, and the domestic sphere. Fadel’s readings of Islamic legal sources suggest that Islamic law remains relevant to a society in which legitimate disagreements over law and morality seem intractable. At the same time, from the Rawlsian perspective he adopts, Fadel reminds us that premodern Muslim jurists formulated Islamic law also under conditions of substantial controversy over matters of law and morality, as well as over questions of religion, politics, theology, and metaphysics. The studies gathered together in this volume adroitly illustrate Fadel’s interest in Islamic law as a domain of Islamic political thought and as a framework that might be deployed in today’s pluralistic and secularized societies.
