Law In The Modern State (1919)

""Law in the Modern State"" is a book written by French jurist and philosopher, Leon Duguit, in 1919. In this book, Duguit explores the role of law in modern society, particularly in the context of the state. He argues that law is not simply a set of rules imposed by the state, but rather a social phenomenon that arises from the needs and desires of individuals and groups within society. Duguit also critiques traditional legal theories, such as natural law and positivism, and proposes a new approach to understanding the nature of law. He emphasizes the importance of social solidarity and cooperation in the development and enforcement of laws, and argues that the state should play a more active role in promoting these values. Overall, ""Law in the Modern State"" is an important work that challenges traditional legal thinking and offers a new perspective on the role of law in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
