Examining the evolution of legal structures in Western societies, this book delves into four paradigms of functional legal units, including legislatures, courts, statutory rules, contracts, and property. It emphasizes a form-oriented analysis, contrasting with traditional rules-based perspectives by legal theorists like H. L. A. Hart and Hans Kelsen. This approach offers a fresh and thought-provoking lens through which to understand the conceptual foundations of law, enhancing the reader's comprehension of legal methodologies and enforcement mechanisms.
