Název v původním jazyce

Law Is a Multilevel Cultural Universal: The Theoretical Achievements of Leopold Pospisil’s Anthropology of Law

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Leopold Pospisil, by providing an objective and defensible means to identify law in the field, succeeded in advancing, if not solving, the problem of ‘who has law’ that Malinowski had failed to resolve. His proposal includes among its benefits the conclusion that all functioning societies possess law. No stable group, in other words, is ‘lawless’, contrary to the claims of primarily European colonisers and many contemporary social scientists and legal theorists. The theoretical productivity of Pospisil&apos;s ontological model of law becomes evident with the contributions of Anthropology of Law towards other enduring problems, particularly as to where legal pluralism exists, if at all. Prominent critiques of legal pluralism are examined, finding that alternative models cannot perform as well as Pospisil’s, which assigns state law a modest status as one among several instances of law rather than the whole of the category itself. While Pospisil&apos;s innovative models have not received the explicit recognition one might expect, his major conclusions have been adopted as standard understandings among workers within law and anthropology.
