Description

Explore the evolution of a fundamental legal concept in The Reasonable Person: A Legal Biography. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book examines how the standard of the reasonable person functions as an empathetic perspective-taking device within the law. Jeutner traces this legal figure through a wide historical lens, starting with imaginary legal figures in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The narrative explains the emergence of the common law's reasonable person during British industrialization, noting the influence of Scottish Enlightenment thinking. Moving beyond history, the text follows this concept into colonial courts, onto battlefields, and even into the modern era of self-driving cars. This biography provides a deep look at how the reasonable person invites judicial interpretation across different legal fields and countries. It is a valuable resource for those studying the Law in Context series and the historical development of legal standards.
