Legal Philosophy From Plato To Hegel by David Cairns
This work traces the evolution of Western legal thought from ancient Greek foundations through Roman jurisprudence, medieval natural law, and early modern theories of sovereignty and rights, culminating in the idealist synthesis of the nineteenth century. It presents key thinkers and texts in context, highlighting shifting conceptions of justice, law’s relationship to morality and reason, and the role of the state, while showing how recurring debates—such as positive law versus natural law and individual liberty versus social order—develop and intersect across eras.
