Law and the Mind: Biological Origins of Human Behavior (Sage Library of Social Research, Band 184) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A major contribution to the developing field of law and biology, this volume outlines Gruter's vision of what is particularly salient in modern biological theory for the law and applies these findings to two specific areas - family law and environmental law.

By concentrating on ethology, in particular how animals behave in groups, Gruter contends that the door is opened onto insights into human law. A basic proposition of the book is that legal research and practice can keep pace more effectively with changes in human society when findings from the biological sciences are known, understood and incorporated into legal thinking and practice.
