About this Item
New York: Columbia University Press, 1928. First Edition of One of Cardozo's Most Important Books Cardozo, Benjamin N. [1870-1938]. The Paradoxes of Legal Science. New York: Columbia University Press, 1928. v, 142, [1] pp. Original cloth, gilt title to spine, blind frames to boards, gilt Columbia University Press crest to center of front board. Light rubbing, corners and spine ends bumped, dulling to spine lettering, light toning to interior. $250. * First edition, first printing. One of Cardozo's most important books, The Paradoxes of Legal Science is a classic statement of juristic pragmatism. As Goodhart points out, it also reveals the non-legal sources, such as Greek philosophy, that informed his work: "His many references in these lectures to Greek philosophy show how great a part his early classical training played in the formation of his ideas; in relating his general principles to the concrete cases which, in his words, he used as a kind of legal litmus paper, he was a true Aristotelian." Goodhart, Five Jewish Lawyers of the Common Law 59-60. Seller Inventory # 78266
