Recenzii
'In this carefully researched, engagingly written, and highly original book, Alexander Lian draws on the voluminous scholarship on Holmes and the experience of a practicing attorney, who is trained in American intellectual history, to formulate a compelling theoretical foundation for legal education and legal practice rooted in Holmes's writings.' Bruce Kimball, co-author of The Intellectual Sword: Harvard Law School, the Second Century
'This is an engaging contemporary encounter with a classic essay on law. Lian's research is deep and comprehensive, and he writes like a painter paints, with style and perception about the multi-dimensionality of American law, challenging legal education to match the clarity and dimensionality that Holmes brought to it over a century ago.' Frederic R. Kellogg, author of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and Legal Logic
'The Path of the Law has attracted and puzzled scholars for a very long time. Just what is it about? Alexander Lian has an answer: It is about legal education broadly understood. He demonstrates this proposition by carefully situating the piece in Holmes' many publications and in the thought of others of his time and acquaintance. The result is always interesting, somehow both analytically precise and neither hurried nor dense. Read the book slowly and enjoy it. Whether in the end one agrees with Lian's conclusion, one cannot fail to come away with a better understanding of Holmes, his times and the problems of becoming educated in law.' John Henry Schlegel, Floyd H. and Hilda L. Hurst Faculty Scholar, University at Buffalo School of Law
'Alexander Lian brings a key insight to our understanding of Holmes's famed Path of the Law article: Holmes presented it as a guide to law students in their study of law rather than as a commentary on the practice of law. Building on this insight, Lian offers an original, enlightening, and comprehensive reinterpretation of Holmes. Most important, we must not forget that Holmes approached his audience as a lawyer and judge, not as a legal academic. As such, Holmes presented the law in three dimensions, not as a flat or two-dimensional series of rules, but as a deeply historical enterprise.' Stephen M. Feldman, Jerry H. Housel/Carl F. Arnold Distinguished Professor of Law, University of Wyoming
'Alexander Lian's new book about Oliver Wendell Holmes is a magnificent achievement. A major contribution to the Holmes literature, Stereoscopic Law looks at its subject in an original, revealing way: both with a wide angle and a zoom lens. With Holmes's famous lecture The Path of the Law as a springboard, Lian explores and probes Holmes's thinking as a matter of legal philosophy as well as Holmes's biographical and intellectual development. Stereoscopic Law, written accessibly and provocatively, is sure to push Holmes studies in a new, fruitful direction. It should be read and pondered by anyone interested in the history of ideas and the life of the mind.' Daniel J. Kornstein, Lawyer and Author of The Second Greatest American
