Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal Doctrine and Social Progress The stupendous social problems of this age force us to face the question - shall remedy be found by evolution or revolution? The answer to this question is of momentous importance. It determines one's attitude toward the problems and marks the essential nature of his activities. If he believes that revolution is "the way out" he will very likely be unsympathetic with reforms, and impatient of "palliative measures." He will clothe his ideals with abundance of detail and refuse to pave the road or even blaze the trail by which they must be reached. He complacently postpones all progress to that joyful day when his perfect ideal will be realized in one grand coup d' etat. The man on the other hand who believes in reforms and evolutionary methods of social progress will do what he can each day to gain an inch toward things as they ought to be. A man is an evolutionist or a revolutionist in the matter of pursuing his ideal, according to the view he takes of the law, the constitution and chart of present civic institutions.

Download or read book The Sociology of Law written by A. Javier Trevino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 1182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to introduce the sociology of law by providing a coherent organization to the general body of literature in that field. As such, the text gives a comprehensive overview of theoretical sociology of law. It deals with the broad expanse of the field and covers a vast amount of intellectual terrain. This volume is intended to fill a gap in the literature. Most textbooks in the sociology of law are insufficiently theoretical or else do not provide a paradigmatic analysis of sociological theories. The content of this text consists of discussions of the works of scholars who have contributed the most to the cumulative development of the sociology of law. It surveys the major traditions of legal sociology but is not wedded to any one particular theoretical approach. Both the "classical," or nineteenth-century, and "contemporary," or twentieth-century, perspectives are covered. The reader will see that nineteenth-century thought has directly influenced the emergence of twentieth-century theory. One unique feature of this book is that key sociological and legal concepts, presented in bold print and italics, are defined, described, and illustrated throughout. Although the nature of the subject matter is highly theoretical and, at times, quite complex, Trevino values every effort to present the material in the most straightforward and intelligible form possible without compromising the integrity of the theories themselves. In short, this book aims to accomplish three objectives: inform about the progressive advancement of sociological theory, teach the reader to analyze the law as a social phenomenon, and develop in the reader a critical mode of thinking about issues relevant to the relationship between law and society.

Download or read book An Examination of the Law of Personal Rights written by A. J. Willard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Law of Personal Rights: To Discover the Principles of the Law, as Ascertained From the Practical Rules of the Law, and Harmonized With the Nature of Social Relations That man has a social nature is a proposition fundamental to a proper understanding of the place in nature that is occupied by the law. The demonstration of this proposition belongs to general philosophy rather than to legal science; but the question, from its close relation to the philosophy of the law, can not be altogether ignored. Society, more or less permanent, exists among the lower animals as well as among the human species, affording a wide range of proofs that social tendencies are an important and necessary part of the order of nature. That such a tendency should not exist in the most primitive state in which we can conceive mankind to have lived, but that it should have arisen simply as a product of mature experience, contradicts the principle that has firmly fastened itself upon the minds of reflecting men, that experience can have no greater force than that of formulating that which must be conceived as existing prior to any experience whatever. When we speak of a tendency, we mean more than a practice or habit, and no less than that from which all practices and habits must have their origin. Without doubt, tendencies of a particular character are produced in association with habits formed; but they are referable to some general tendency that lies back of all habits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Social Justice: Principles of the Law of the Kingdom of Heaven (Right Living); The Law of Jesus From a Lawyer's Viewpoint The remaining chapters of the book are devoted to the fundamental principles of Jesus' law, i. E., social jus tice. First are taken up the fundamental human rights and duties, or, as modern lawyers would say, substantive law, both antecedent and remedial, both legal and extra legal. Then are considered the methods evolved by Jesus to make men discharge their duties and obligations a substitute for what modern lawyers would call adjective law (or legal procedure).

Download or read book Readings in Social Problems written by Albert Benedict Wolfe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Social Problems: Edited With an Introduction In the long run the basic social problem is that of population. Economically the most fundamental relation is that between man and natural resources. The laws governing that relation must be understood and reckoned with first of all, in theories of social progress or in plans for the lasting improvement of the condi tion of the people. If these natural laws, whatever they may be, are not taken into consideration, every plan and ideal for human betterment runs the risk of impracticability, or else of being brought to naught even after it has seemingly realized its pur pose. The nature of natural resources sets a limit, albeit an elastic one, to man's productivity - a limit which may be at a given time and place so highly elastic or so far in the future that it does not seem a reality, but at another place or time may prove to be a very present fact. No principle of economic science is better established than that sooner or later with in creasing population the law of diminishing returns will assert itself in a way that will demand changes in economic, social, and political policies, if the average material well-being of a people is not to be brought to a standstill or actually to go backward. Moreover, a certain level of material wealth is a pre requisite to even a moderate development of the cultural and spiritual content of life. Failure or unwillingness, therefore, to consider the limitation placed upon the material basis of progress by a strictly limited supply of land, and the increasing difficulty of securing the food, raw materials, and power requisite to the needs of an expanding population, can be attributed only to ingrained preconception and prejudice.
