Volume 1: The Law and the Right, a Reappraisal of the Reality that ought to be by Enrico Pattaro This work brings out and recovers the normative dimension of law, called "the reality that ought to be", placing within this reality the idea of what is right. Part I reconstructs the current as well as the traditional civil-law conception of the reality that ought to be and raises some critical theoretical issues. Part II introduces some basic concepts on language and behaviour and presents a conception of norms as beliefs. Part III aims to find explanations for the idea of a reality that ought to be. Part IV consists of inquiries focussed on Homeric epic, the natural-law school, and the normativistic view of positive law Front Matter....Pages I-LXI Early Greek Legal Thought....Pages 7-34 Socrates and Early Socratic Philosophers of Law....Pages 35-56 Platonic Philosophy of Law....Pages 57-77 Aristotle’s Philosophy of Law....Pages 79-110 Hellenistic Philosophers of Law....Pages 111-131 Law in Roman Philosophy....Pages 133-165 Early Jewish and Christian Legal Thought....Pages 167-185 The Philosophy of Law in the Writings of Augustine....Pages 187-218 Philosophy of Law in Medieval Judaism and Islam....Pages 219-250 The Revival of Roman Law and Canon Law....Pages 251-265 The Rise of Scholastic Legal Philosophy....Pages 267-283 The Philosophy of Law of Thomas Aquinas....Pages 285-310 Philosophy of Law in the Later Middle Ages....Pages 311-333 The Nature and Significance of Law in Early Modern Scholasticism....Pages 335-365 The Roman Jurists’ Conception of Law....Pages 367-396 The Metaphysical Thought of Late Medieval Jurisprudence....Pages 397-444 The Role of Logic in the Legal Science of the Glossators and Commentators....Pages 445-522 Politics in Western Jurisprudence....Pages 523-577 Precursors....Pages 579-606 The Age of Sir Edward Coke....Pages 607-635 The Age of Selden and Hale....Pages 637-667 The Age of Blackstone and Kames....Pages 669-699 The Age of the Federalists....Pages 701-731 The Age of Bentham and Austin....Pages 733-765 The Age of Maine and Holmes....Pages 767-801 Back Matter....Pages 803-949

the Entire Work Is Divided Into Three Parts:

- The Theoretical Part (published In 2005) Consists Of 5 Volumes And Covers The Main Topics Of Contemporary Debate.

- The Historical Part Consists Of 6 Volumes And Is Scheduled To Be Published During 2006 (volumes 6-8) And 2007 (volumes 8-11 And Volume 12 (index). The Historical Volumes Account For The Development Of Legal Thought From Ancient Greek Times Through The Twentieth Century.

Volume 7: The Jurists' Philosophy of Law from Rome to the Seventeenth Century edited by Andrea Padovani and Peter Stein Volume 7 is the second of the historical volumes and acts as a complement to the previous Volume 6, discussing from the jurists' perspective what that previous volume discusses from the philosophers' perspective. The subjects of analysis are, first, the Roman jurists' conception of law, second, the metaphysical and logical presuppositions of late medieval legal science, and, lastly, the connection between legal and political thought up to the 17th century. The discussion shows how legal science proceeds at every step of the way, from Rome to early modern times, as an enterprise that cannot be untangled from other forms of thought, thus giving rise to an interest in logic, medieval theology, philosophy, and politics--all areas where legal science has had an influence Volume 8: A History of the Philosophy of Law in The Common Law World, 1600-1900 by Michael Lobban Volume 8, the third of the historical volumes, offers a history of legal philosophy in common-law countries from the 17th to the 19th century. Its main focus (like that of Volume 9) is on the ways in which jurists and legal philosophers thought about law and legal reasoning. The volume begins with a discussion of the 'common law mind' as it evolved in late medieval and early modern England. It goes on to examine the different jurisprudential traditions which developed in England and the United States, showing that while Coke's vision of the common law continued to exert a strong influence on American jurists, in England a more positivist approach took root, which found its fullest articulation in the work of Bentham and Austin Volume 6: A History of the Philosophy of Law from the Ancient Greeks to the Scholastics edited by Fred D. Miller, Jr., in association with Carrie-Ann Biondi Volume 6 is the first of the Treatise's historical volumes (following the five theoretical ones) and is dedicated to the philosophers' philosophy of law from ancient Greece to the 16th century. The volume thus begins with the dawning of legal philosophy in Greek and Roman philosophical thought and then covers the birth and development of European medieval legal philosophy, the influence of Judaism and the Islamic philosophers, the revival of Roman and Christian canon law, and the rise of scholastic philosophy in the late Middle Ages, which paved the way for early-modern Western legal philosophy
