Details

New Private Law Theory opens a new pathway to private law theory through a pluralistic approach. Such a theory needs a broad and stable foundation, which the authors have built here through a canon of nearly seventy texts of reference. This book brings these different texts from different disciplines into conversation with each other, grouping them around central questions of private law and at the same time integrating them with the legal doctrinal analysis of example cases. This book will be accessible to both experienced and early career scholars working on private law.

Develops a pluralist approach to private law which could inspire the interpretation of the law in concrete cases
Combines private law theory with law and economics, the sociology of law and other strands of social theory
Contrasts different strands of legal thought: English, French, German, Italian, European Union and American
Accessible to experienced and to young scholars working on private law
