I regret not studying law and going to Oxford. What should I read to catch up and know about the law and history of Britannia?

Hegel’s Elements of the Philosophy of Right with Marx’s Contribution to a Critique.

Modern jurisprudence is actually very simple and can be learned in seconds:
If you're white, you did it; if you're not white, you didn't do it, but if hypothetically you did do it, you had good reasons for doing it.

Then I'd suggest going to Oxford on your armchair, as it were. Digging around the Oxford website should let you find the required and recommended texts for their law curriculum. I don't know how open-access Oxford is, but if it's anything like some Ivy League universities in the States, you'll even be able to find lecture slides and whatnot.

I’m not sure. I was asking why you recommended them so I can get a better idea as I assumed you read them. Sorry if it came across rude.

>> No.23107839

>>23107828
No worries. Yes, I’ve read them. Their combination is essentially everything one needs to know about the philosophy of law because it covers legal ethics, political philosophy, and history, being what OP requested.

Just read these two links and buy a book on the history of common law and the magna carta if you still want more.

Law involves a very different kind of reading, we had to be taught how to read jurisprudence properly in the beginning of law school, you'd need to be taught that. After that you can read the leading legal textbooks and cases

Law is law, and their work is substantially more attuned to the development of the Western legal tradition than any Supreme Court fetishist or Ivy League polysci elitist from the past couple centuries.

I also regret not going to a good school and studying law, a lot.


But in truth, there’s law and then there’s philosophy of law. Philosophy of law is basically just political theory. So if that’s what interests you, just read Hobbes, Rousseau, Schmitt, etc.

another lawfag here, i dont mind posting my syllabus but im a currycel at a mid uni so idk if people will be interested. This is my current semester syllabus for Jurisprudence but my teacher uses alot of other texts apart from the prescribed ones like Hegel and Fuller to teach though.
