The book argues for a return to legal realism and the classical pragmatism of John Dewey and William James and for a rejection of the postmodern critique of critical legal studies. It discusses the two movements with respect to three topics: their view of history, their view of social science, and their view of language. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRejecting the claim that critical legal studies can be seen as the heir of legal realism, \u003ci\u003eLegal Realism Regained\u003c\/i\u003e argues that, with respect to each of these three topics, the realists still present a stronger argument than their more radical descendants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWouter de Been works as a researcher for the Wiardi Beckman Foundation in Amsterdam, a research institution affiliated with the Dutch Labour Party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.2 x 6.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 13, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757618725152,"sku":"9780804756594","price":119.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/cfe791d94f3396561dd9ffc2d214d5b2.webp?v=1780106936","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/legal-realism-regained-saving-realism-from-critical-acclaim-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
