Description - Law in Perspective: Ethics, Society and Critical Thinking by Michael Head

"Law in Perspective" is intended to encourage critical, responsible and creative thinking about law as a system of ideas and a social institution. It explores the relationships between law, logic and science; examines the socio-economic role of law; and asks what role the legal system plays in alleviating or exacerbating contemporary social problems (such as crime and punishment, terrorism, refugees and tort law reform). To place law in its historical, philosophical, economic, political and social contexts, Michael Head and Scott Mann focus upon a range of powerful critical thinking tools in the form of ideas and techniques drawn from logic, science, ethics, and political and social theory. "Law in Perspective" provides an accessible, concise and practical introduction to the fundamental ideas of good and bad reasoning; scientific method; ethical theories and concepts; and politics and political economy.
