The History of Law: Concept Aspects

Abstract

The evolution of the concept of history and the various means to conceive the concept. They are: process of linear and irreversible growth; process of periodical revisions, in the form of cycles, and not repeating progress, resultant from the experiences that the starting cycles gain from the preceding ones. The history of law as a part of world history. The critical knowledge of sources as the fundamental method of the history of law. The means of exposition of the history of law: chronological and systematical. The two great currents of "historicism".
