More about the book

Rudolf von Jhering's scientific work transcended boundaries in two significant ways: it crossed national borders in the realm of legal transfer, extending well beyond Europe, and it bridged disciplines such as law, sociology, and cultural anthropology. His exploration of the interrelations between law and real life, particularly in his late work "Law as a Means to an End," and its impact on the pioneers of legal sociology remain largely unexamined. Additionally, Jhering himself was influenced by various natural sciences, notably the revolutionary developments in chemistry around 1850. This interplay between his legal theories and scientific advancements highlights the multifaceted nature of his contributions, which continue to invite further investigation and understanding.
