Evolution and The Common Law / Allan C.Hutchinson 1 New York : Sage Publications, 2005 x,293 hlm,23cm Indeks : 293-294 This book offers a radical challenge to all existing accounts of the common law?s development. Contrary to received jurisprudential wisdom, it maintains that there is no grand theory that will satisfactory explain the dynamic interactions of change and stability in common law?s history. Offering fresh and original readings of Charles Darwin?s and Hans-Georg Gadamer?s works, the book shows that law is a rhetorical activity that can only be properly appreciated in its historical and political context; tradition and transformation are locked in a mutually reinforcing but thoroughly contingent embrace. In contrast to the dewy-eyed offerings of much contemporary work, it demonstrates that, like life, law is an organic process rather than a miraculous one. In short, common law is a perpetual work in progress ? evanescent, dynamic, messy, productive, tantalizing, and bottom up. 1.Common Law-Methodology 2.Common Law-Study & Teaching 3.Evolution-Philosophy 06668/MKRI-P/XII-2007
