The book "Introduction to Legal Philosophy" is divided into two parts. In the first half, the author compares and criticizes the doctrines of two modern German jurists, Kohler and Stamler, and in the second half he elaborates on his own legal philosophy. Hawking is not a jurist. In this book, he uses a philosopher's thinking to explore legal issues that illegal scholars dare not attempt. This book not only enables people who do not study law to know how to think about legal issues; it also encourages people who study law to make full use of their thinking.
Reader comments
The book mentions that law should not only consider history and precedent, but also take into account the future. I agree with this point. Moreover, the author also emphasized that we need to build our thoughts on our own inherent foundation, which inspired me a lot. I especially like the interpretation of the works of legal philosophers from different regions and eras in the book, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. I recommend you check it out too!
