Author Description

Excerpt from From the Physical to the Social Sciences: Introduction to a Study of Economic and Ethical Theory So far as most lawyers, judges and legal scholars are conscious of methods employed in their work, they avow three types of approach to the legal prob lems with which they deal. For convenience let them here be called the transcendental, the inductive and the practical methods respectively. The first two types purport to be wholly methodical and it is the absence of the methodology thus professed which is a differentiating characteristic of the third type. It is an interesting excursion to take some concrete legal problem of general interest and to watch the application of each of these three methods to it.
