    A History of Legal Theory in Practice

    by R. H. Helmholz ...
    The theory of natural law grounds human laws in the universal truths of God’s creation.

    The Machine of Political Theology and the Place of Thought

    by Roberto Esposito ...
    Translated by Zakiya Hanafi ...
    Series series Commonalities
    The debate on “political theology” that ran throughout the twentieth century has reached its end, but the ultimate meaning of the notion continues to evade us. Despite all the attempts to resolve the issue, we still speak its language—we remain in its horizon.The reason for this, says Roberto Esposito, lies in the fact that political theology is neither a concept nor an event; rather, it is the ...

  • Legalism

    Community and Justice

    Edited by Fernanda Pirie, Judith Scheele ...
    'Community' and 'justice' recur in anthropological, historical, and legal scholarship, yet as concepts they are notoriously slippery. Historians and lawyers look to anthropologists as 'community specialists', but anthropologists often avoid the concept through circumlocution: although much used (and abused) by historians, legal thinkers, and political philosophers, the term remains strikingly ...

  • Reason and Restitution

    A Theory of Unjust Enrichment

    by Charlie Webb ...
    Series series Oxford Legal Philosophy
    In law, gains, like losses, don't always lie where they fall.

The same cannot be said, however, of the reasons for ordering restitution of such gains. It is often suggested that unjust enrichment's existence can be demonstrated without inquiry into these ...
