Synopsis

How law grows from social need—to become a force that channels power toward common life. This book-length examination traces the idea that law emerges from the practical needs of society, not from abstract theory alone. It presents a clear path from individual coercion to the state and shows how cooperation can guide force toward justice.

Drawing on history, philosophy, and real-world practice, the work explains why legal systems must balance private interests with the common good. It argues that partnership among people offers the model for law’s self-regulation, turning raw power into orderly, predictable rules.

• Understand why coercion is a fundamental starting point for law.


• See how cooperation frames power to serve everyone’s life needs.


• Learn how private contracts and collective interests shape legal systems.


• Explore the idea that law serves as a guide for just social action.

Ideal for readers interested in the philosophy of law, legal history, and how legal systems evolve to protect all members of society.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

By theE ditorial Committee Until either philosophers become kings, saidS ocrates, or kings philosopher, States will never succeed in remedying their shortcomings. And if he was loath to give forth this view, because, as he admitted, it might sink him beneath the waters of laughter and ridicule, so to-day among us it would doubtless resound in folly if we sought to apply it again in our own field of State life, and to assert that philosophers must become lawyers or lawyers philosophers, if our law is ever to be advanced into its perfect working. And yet there is hope, as there is need, among us to-day, of some such transformation. Of course, history shows that there always have been cycles of legal progress, and that they have often been heralded and guided by philosophies. But particularly there is hope that our own people may be the generation how about to exemplify this. There are several reasons for thinking our people apt thereto. But, without delaying over the grounds for such speculations, let us recall that as shrewd and good-natured an observer as DeT ocqueville saw this in us. He admits that in most of the operations of the mind, each American appeals to the individual exercise of his own understanding alone; therefore in no country, in the civilized world is less attention paid to philosophy than in the United States.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
