Evolution and the Common Law

Challenging traditional views on the evolution of common law, this book argues against a singular explanatory theory for its history. It presents innovative interpretations of Charles Darwin's and Hans-Georg Gadamer's ideas, framing law as a rhetorical activity deeply rooted in its historical and political context. Emphasizing that law, much like life, is an organic and evolving process, it posits that common law is an ongoing endeavor, constantly adapting and transforming over time.
