Description
Dr. N.V. Paranjape’s ‘Studies in Jurisprudence and Legal Theory’ is a celebrated and authoritative text that has, for nearly three decades, served as a guiding resource for understanding the foundational principles and philosophical dimensions of law. The book has now entered the thirty-second year of its publication since its first edition was brought out in 1994.
In this revised and enlarged edition, Dr. Paranjape presents a thoroughly updated and restructured treatment of jurisprudence, with a renewed emphasis on the Indian perspective and a comprehensive analysis of contemporary developments in Indian legal thought. The text reflects the author’s lifelong engagement with the study and teaching of law and his commitment to making a complex subject accessible, engaging, and relevant to modern legal realities.
The author has endeavoured to bring out this edition in a thoroughly revised form with greater thrust on Indian perspective of legal theory and latest developments in Indian jurisprudential thought. Due consideration and reference has also been given to the new criminal laws, namely-the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023; and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, wherever necessary. At places, the whole text has been recast, re-written and expanded with a view to update the contents. An attempt has been made to evaluate the contemporary changes in other parts of the world, notably, U.K., U.S.A., and European countries without, however, losing sight of corresponding developments in the Indian legal setting.
Dr. N.V. Paranjape’s work remains an indispensable text for LL.B. and LL.M. students, researchers, teachers, judicial aspirants, and practising lawyers, reaffirming its place as a timeless contribution to the study and understanding of law and legal philosophy in India.
