Synopsis

The Struggle For Law is a book written by Rudolf Von Jhering, a German jurist and legal scholar. The book was originally published in German in 1872 and has since been translated into various languages, including English. The book is a comprehensive study of the concept of law and its development throughout history, with a particular focus on the struggle for law in modern society. Jhering argues that the concept of law is not static, but rather constantly evolving in response to social, economic, and political changes. He examines the role of law in regulating human behavior and maintaining social order, and explores the relationship between law and morality.Jhering also discusses the various challenges faced by legal systems, including corruption, injustice, and the abuse of power. He argues that the struggle for law is ongoing, and that it is the responsibility of individuals and society as a whole to work towards creating a just and equitable legal system.Overall, The Struggle For Law is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the nature of law and its importance in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in legal theory and the role of law in shaping our world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION.

IN the spring of 1872, I delivered, before a society of jurists in Vienna, a lecture which I published in the summer of the same year, materially enlarged, under the title: "The Struggle for Law." In its latter form, it was intended not for lawyers only, but for the general reading public. The object I had in view in writing and publishing the essay was, from the first, less a theoretical than a practico-ethical one. I was concerned, in preparing it, not so much with the promotion of the scientific study of the law as with the cultivation of the state of mind from which the law must ultimately derive its strength, viz.: the courageous and constant exercise of the feeling of right.

Two months after the appearance of the first edition, a second became necessary; during the following year, a third, and the year afterwards a fourth. When issuing the last, my publisher proposed that I should prepare a cheap popular edition, at a much lower price, in order to give it as wide a circulation as possible. This end could be attained only by giving the work a much plainer dress and by making the edition unusually large. As even the previous editions had exceeded the ordinary size, and as the foreign market for the work grew smaller and smaller, by reason of the numerous translations made of it, I did not venture to believe that a fifth edition would become necessary. But the fact that a fifth edition is called for, is proof to me that this little book owed its success, on its first appearance, not to the charm of novelty, but to the conviction of a very large circle of people, that the fundamental view here advocated is correct; and in this belief I am strengthened by the many translations of it which have been made.
