Recenzii
Outside In is a unique sort of account, written in Guido's remarkable voice based on recordings that which took place over a decade. The book is a unique amalgam of oral history and biography, with supplementary commentaries to explain, elaborate, validate, and interpret and situate the personal narrative within its larger historical context.
One can read this work as a vision of real American life, an introduction to the study of law and economics, a commentary on some of the most important American law books, a sociological essay on cultural integration, and an introduction to the study of the American judiciary. This book is unparalleled in describing the self-realization of a great jurist, engaged first in research and teaching, then in jurisdiction, a book that celebrates reason and integration, interesting as a novel, instructive as a study of history, as profound as a philosophical essay.
As a child, Guido Calabresi and his family fled fascism and a world they cherished. This is a story of how that experience of loss and dispossession shaped him and provided the insights, convictions, and heart that guided his remarkable career as he re-shaped the law as a scholar, teacher, dean and jurist. Moving and profound.
A notable difficulty with biographies of judges and academics is that the professional writing of their subjects is often dull, even when their ideas are brilliant and precise. Outside In doesnât have this problem...Silber lets Calabresi...speak to us in his own voice...And what a voice it is: lively, charming, witty, and revealing. The book benefits immeasurably from the extensive [commentaries] that create the very kind of running dialogue that Calabresi himself has fostered throughout his long and wide-ranging career.
This book combines family memoirs, an account of Jewish integration in Italy and the United States, an account of successful immigration, of the formation of a famous intellectual, of a piece of history of a renowned American university, and an investigation into American legal culture...The reader can learn the extraordinary story of adapting a family to a different environment; about how "trespassing" between scientific disciplines can produce invaluable results; about how to teach, to manage a faculty and argue in court; about the importance of the mastering legal theory. All this is told with great sincerity, making frequent use of anecdotes and narration of what happens behind the scenes-all this with the depth and richness of observations of a book of philosophy and a study of sociology.
