Einführung in das juristische Denken

Karl Engisch's Introduction to Legal Thinking, first published in 1956, is now one of the 'classics' in the literature of jurisprudence. The eight chapters mainly discuss fundamental issues of methodology and the philosophy of law in the face of the intellectual currents of the twentieth century. The aim of the book is to make the mysterious and sometimes doubtfullooking logic and methodology of Judicial Thinking accessible to law students and interested laypersons.
