Chapter 1Early Greek Legal Thought

Gagarin, Michael; Woodruff, Paul

Pages: 7 –34

[To write about early Greek legal thought requires, first, some consideration of what this expression might have meant at the time. “Legal philosophy” in the modern sense did not exist before Plato, but “legal thought,” in the sense of thinking about law, undoubtedly did. We find various...

Chapter 2Socrates and Early Socratic Philosophers of Law

Stalley, Richard F.; Long, Roderick T.

Pages: 35 –56

[Socrates is arguably the most important and elusive figure in the history of moral philosophy. The few known facts about his life are easily told. He was an Athenian citizen, born in 469 B.C., and worked as a sculptor. He served his city bravely in the Peloponnesian War, but did not seek an...

[Between 338 and 323 B.C., the entire eastern Mediterranean region—including Greece, Egypt, and most of western Asia (the remains of the Persian Empire)—fell under Macedonian rule. Although the unity of this new empire did not survive the death of its creator, Alexander of Macedon, the various...

Chapter 6Law in Roman Philosophy

Inwood, Brad; Miller, Fred D.

Pages: 133 –165

[Legal philosophy in late antiquity must be understood in relation to Roman law, a system which continued to evolve from the traditional founding of Rome (753 B.C.) until the fall of the Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) Empire (A.D. 1453). Rome was at first ruled by kings about whom little is...

Chapter 7Early Jewish and Christian Legal Thought

Miller, Fred D.

Pages: 167 –185

[In addition to Greek and Roman legal thought, the other major ancient source for Western legal philosophy is the Judeo-Christian tradition. Jewish law took shape over two millennia, from the legendary Mosaic code (as early as the thirteenth century B.C.) until the completion of the Talmud...

Chapter 9Philosophy of Law in Medieval Judaism and Islam

Butterworth, Charles E.

Pages: 219 –250

[Properly speaking, there is no philosophy of law in medieval Judaism and Islam. In its place is jurisprudence, that is, the art or science that seeks to explain what the revealed law of either tradition means with respect to one particular situation or another and how it is to be applied....

Chapter 10The Revival of Roman Law and Canon law

Banchich, Thomas M.; Marenbon, John; Reid, Charles J.

Pages: 251 –265

[The Digest (or Pandects), promulgated at Constantinople on December 16, 533, by the Roman emperor Justinian (527–565, born ca. 482), is perhaps the most influential text in the history of Western legal thought. Together with Justinian’s Code (promulgated on April 7, 529, with a second edition in...
