First published in 1956, Karl Engisch=s >Einführung in das juristische Denken< is now one of the classics of legal literature. Over eight chapters, it primarily addresses the fundamentals of methodology, but also examines the basics of legal philosophy against the backdrop of twentieth century schools of thought. The book is aimed at introducing both students of law and all non-professionals with an interest in the field to the mysterious and occasionally dubious logicand methodology of the legal mind.
