LAW AND LIFE WHY LAW? - PETER VAN SCHILFGAARDE ...

This book is based on the assumption that the world is governed by a widespread field of
interconnected laws. In this field man-made laws - legal laws - have to coexist with the laws
of nature  the laws of science and the laws of logic. They have to find their place in relation
to a certain society. They have to relate to the demands of morality  ethics  custom and trust.
They have to follow the laws of language. They have to deal with a variety of professional and
esthetic rules. They have to defend their position between art and craft. Finally  and
significantly  they have to cope with a host of different ideas about truth. This book
approaches law as a human construct meant to strengthen society as it develops through the
ages. Knowledge of the law - legal knowledge - is of doubtful value if it ignores the demands
and ideals of society. The same goes for the thinking leading to legal knowledge. This book
focuses on a basic concept. That concept is met if the legal thinking  leading to legal
knowledge  reaches the level of an independent  law and society oriented  contemplative
discipline. A discipline which is in that sense and to that extent in touch with - cherished or
less cherished - parts of given law.
