Leon Petrażycki

<p>The early 20th-century Russo-Polish legal thinker Leon Petrażycki (1867-1931) developed a comprehensive social psychology of law. Because only a fraction of his work is available in English Petrażycki is today little known and seldom discussed in the Anglophone countries. <p/>This volume aims to remedy this deficit by introducing Petrażycki's life and work specifically to an English-speaking audience. It is intended as a reappraisal of some of his views in the context of current advancements. This collection of 12 chapters produced by a panel of international scholars from various social science fields will be useful to a new generation of students formulating their own theories and research on socio-legal behavior. <p/><i>Leon Petrażycki: Law Emotions Society</i> will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology of law socio-legal studies and philosophy of law</p>
