Lawyers, Litigation & English Society Since 1450
ISBN: 9781852851569 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Legal history has usually been written in terms of writs and legislation, and the development of legal doctrine.

Based on extensive original research, his work has helped to redefine the parameters of British legal history, away from procedural development and the refinement of legal doctrine and towards the real impact that the law had in society. He also places the... Legal history has usually been written in terms of writs and legislation, and the development of legal doctrine. Christopher Brooks, in this series... |

Maat Revealed, Philosophy of Justice in Ancient Egypt
ISBN: 9781932848311 / Angielski / Twarda / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

All the texts of wisdom teach that one has to conform to Maat, an obscure and omnipresent concept that Egyptologists have translated into the expression "Goddess of Truth and Justice." Egyptian justice is so different from ours that Egyptologists and historians of religions believe they have not yet fully understood its meaning. They regret this fact because understanding...

ISBN: 9789041104663 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Eduard Gans and the Hegelian Philosophy of Law
ISBN: 9780792332701 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gans ranks at the head of that important group of Hegelian thinkers that bridged the generations of Hegel and Marx.

His Prefaces to his posthumous editions of Hegel's writings are inaccessib1e to English speakers, despite the fact that they shed important light on the authenticity of the so-called Additions to...
