Produktbeschreibung

Oliver Wendell Holmes' 'The Path of the Law' is a groundbreaking legal treatise that explores the nature of law and its relationship to society. Written in a concise and precise style, Holmes discusses the importance of understanding the law as a social phenomenon shaped by history and culture. His literary context reflects the rise of legal realism in the late 19th century, challenging traditional understandings of legal philosophy. By incorporating examples from actual court cases, Holmes demonstrates the complexities of legal reasoning and the dynamic nature of the law. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of law, society, and morality. As a prominent jurist and legal scholar, Oliver Wendell Holmes draws upon his vast experience in the legal field to write 'The Path of the Law'. His background as a justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and later as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court gives him unique insights into the inner workings of the legal system. Holmes' keen intellect and analytical approach make this book a seminal work in the field of jurisprudence. I highly recommend 'The Path of the Law' to students of law, philosophy, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the legal system. Holmes' thought-provoking ideas challenge conventional wisdom and present a new perspective on the role of law in society.

Autorenporträt

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was an American lawyer who was born March 8, 1841 and died March 6, 1935. From 1902 to 1932, he was an associate judge on the U.S. Supreme Court. Holmes is one of the most famous and important American judges in history. He is known for his long service, sharp opinions (especially on civil liberties and American constitutional democracy), and respect for the decisions of elected legislatures. Holmes quit the court at the age of 90, which is still the oldest justice on the Supreme Court. He was a Brevet Colonel in the American Civil War and was wounded three times. He also worked as an associate justice and chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and as the Weld Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where he went to school. He was well-liked, especially by leftists in the United States, because of his views, personality, and writing style. Holmes was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His parents were Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., a famous author and doctor, and Amelia Lee Jackson Holmes. All of his ancestors came to North America from England in the early colonial time as part of the Puritan movement to New England. Both of his parents were English.
