Rubeji teorii prava
The most notable event in legal thought after the Second World War was the emergence and development of interdisciplinary legal research — the application of social sciences and humanities to law in the hope of making law less formalistic, more practical and more empirically grounded. The book by Richard Posner, one of the leaders of this movement, is devoted to the rapidly expanding frontiers of this field of research. It examines five main areas of interdisciplinary work: economics, history, psychology, epistemology of law and empirical study of law. These approaches overlap and form a coherent body of legal theory that allows analyzing such seemingly different phenomena as the economics of freedom of speech, the intellectual history of economic analysis of law, the relationship between income and freedom, the right of ownership and the psychology of decision-making by judges and juries, the role of emotions in law and the use of quote analysis to evaluate judges and law professors. The book is addressed to lawyers, economists, sociologists and political scientists.
