Lord Kames
Legal and Social Theorist
'Andreas Rahmatian deploys multi- and inter-disciplinary skills worthy of the polymathic Kames himself, setting him in the context of eighteenth-century law and Enlightenment but also arguing that we should pay close attention to what his writings tell us today. The result is challenging new insight on the work of a remarkable jurist.'

'Andreas Rahmatian deploys multi- and inter-disciplinary skills worthy of the polymathic Kames himself, setting him in the context of eighteenth-century law and Enlightenment but also arguing that we should pay close attention to what his writings tell us today. The result is challenging new insight on the work of a remarkable jurist.' Hector L MacQueen, University of Edinburgh Law School The ideas and legal philosophy of the Scottish jurist and philosopher Lord Kames The Scottish jurist, judge, legal historian and philosopher Henry Home (1696-1782) took the title Lord Kames when he was elevated to the bench of the Scottish Court of Session in 1752. Kames was an important scholar in the areas of law, legal history, and aesthetics and was one of the forefathers of comparative law, sociology of law, legal psychology, and 'legal science' in its proper meaning, as opposed to 'law'. In the eighteenth century, his books were influential and widely read; the educated classes and representatives of the Enlightenment in England, France and in the German states were all familiar with his aesthetic and philosophical writings. This book seeks to re-establish this neglected philosopher and explain Kames's conceptions of legal philosophy characteristic of the Scottish Enlightenment, including black-letter law, legal science, legal theory, legal sociology and anthropology in its early stages. Dr Andreas Rahmatian is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow where he teaches intellectual property law and commercial law. He has published on Lord Kames's property theory and his Principles of Equity.
