Berolzheimer (1869-1920), a prominent German Neo-Hegelian jurist, focuses heavily on the law's capacity to serve as a dynamic cultural phenomenon and a progressive humanitarian force, specifically highlighting its role in the emancipation of repressed social classes. This work was published as Volume II of the monumental Modern Legal Philosophy Series, an initiative launched by the Association of American Law Schools to introduce foundational continental European legal theory to the English-speaking world. This edition features an introduction by influential Northwestern University jurisprudence professor Albert Kocourek, a chief organizer of the series, and was translated by Rachel Szold (Jastrow), a notable intellectual and sister of Hadassah founder Henrietta Szold. * This lucid, wide-ranging account traces the evolution of the philosophy of law and offers an introduction to its primary authors. Berolzheimer [1869-1920] is especially interested in the law's ability to serve as a progressive humanitarian force. This is evident, for example, in the contribution it has made to the emancipation of repressed social classes. Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University (1953) 900-901.
