Leon Petrazycki : Law, Emotions, Society

Omtale

"The early-20th century Russo-Polish legal thinker Leon Petraçzycki (1867-1931) developed a comprehensive social psychology of law. Because only a fraction of his work is available in English, Petraçzycki is today little known and seldom discussed in theAnglophone countries. This volume aims to remedy this deficit by introducing Petraçzycki's life and work specifically to an English-speaking audience. It is intended as a reappraisal of some of his views in the context of current advancements. This collection of 13 chapters produced by a panel of international scholars from various social science fields will be useful to a new generation of students formulating their own theories and research on sociolegal behavior. Leon Petraçzycki: Law, Emotions, Society will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology of law, sociolegal studies, and philosophy of law"--
