Thinking Like a Lawyer: A New Introduction to Legal Reasoning

This primer on legal reasoning is aimed at law students and upper-level undergraduates. But it is also an original exposition of basic legal concepts that scholars and lawyers will find stimulating. It covers such topics as rules, precedent, authority, analogical reasoning, the common law, statutory interpretation, legal realism, judicial opinions, legal facts, and burden of proof. In addressing the question whether legal reasoning is distinctive, Frederick Schauer emphasizes the formality and rule-dependence of law. When taking the words of a statute seriously, when following a rule even when it does not produce the best result, when treating the fact of a past decision as a reason for making the same decision again, or when relying on authoritative sources, the law embodies values other than simply that of making the best decision for the particular occasion or dispute. In thus pursuing goals of stability, predictability, and constraint on the idiosyncrasies of individual decision-makers, the law employs forms of reasoning that may not be unique to it but are far more dominant in legal decision-making than elsewhere.

CLIMATE CRISIS ECONOMICS.

The climate change crisis is the existential challenge of our time. The future of the planet and the survival of all living things depends on our collective effort to arrest global temperature increases, for that will determine the sustainability of all life. The relentless increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is indisputable, disturbing, and increasingly damaging. Humanity’s short-s ightedness and selfishness, and our inability to raise our gaze to the climate risk horizon, to recognize the common good and the fragility of the planet, our only home, may yet doom us. Things cannot continue as they are. As Greta Thunberg said in her impassioned speech at the 2019 UN Climate Summit in New York, the time to act is ‘right here, right now’ (Thunberg, 2019).

This book is for students and scholars of history, religious studies, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and any other discipline who study religion in one way or another and would like to think about the place of visual evidence in their work. These chapters have grown from my own work as a scholar and teacher and offer, I sincerely hope, an accessible account of one way of making images and visual practices part of the scholarly study of religion.
