Maurice Adams is Professor of General Jurisprudence at the University of Tilburg. Dirk Heirbaut is Professor of Legal History and Roman Law at Ghent University.In this beautifully produced volume, leading theorists and researchers look at significant aspects of their fields…As a whole, the most important contribution of this volume, however, is having collected essays which all indicate, in various ways, the role of comparative law in enhancing knowledge not only of law but also society, of context and interdisciplinary approaches, and of the significant place of imaginative interpretation for our understanding of law and society.
