Evolution and the Common Law

More about the book

Challenging conventional views on the evolution of common law, the book argues against a singular explanatory theory for its history. It provides innovative interpretations of Charles Darwin and Hans-Georg Gadamer, emphasizing law as a rhetorical activity deeply rooted in historical and political contexts. The author posits that, akin to biological processes, common law is continuously evolving, highlighting its nature as an ongoing project rather than a static entity.
