Foundations of Private Law by James Gordley, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Foundations of Private Law is a treatise on the Western law of property, contract, tort and unjust enrichment in both common law systems and civil law systems. The thesis of the book is that underlying these fields of law are common principles, and that these principles can be used toexplain the history and development of these areas. These underlying common principles are matters of common sense, which were given their archetypal expression by older jurists who wrote in the Aristotelian tradition. These principles shaped the development of Western law but can resolve legalproblems which these older writers did not confront. | Foundations of Private Law by James Gordley, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
