Excerpt from L'Évolution Juridique dans les Diverses Races Humaines
Il est certains mots qu'ancun homme civilisé ne saurait entendre avec indifférence; car ils éveillent tout un fonds émotif hérité des ancêtres. Parmi ces mots auréolés, celui qui tient le premier rang, c'est le mot justice Tantôt cri de guerre, tantôt cri de ven geance, il a cent fois, au cours de l'histoire, servi à résumer les aspirations des opprimés ou la colère des oppresseurs. Dans tous les conflits privés ou publics, chacun l'a sur les lèvres, et personne ne saurait le profé rer sans émoi; car il répond à un sentiment à la fois vague et violent, incarné de très longue date dans le cerveau humain.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and historical evolution of the human understanding of justice, a concept that varies greatly across cultures and time periods. The author contends that justice, as we understand it, is a product of societal evolution and that its roots can be traced back to the primal instinct of self-defense. The author explores the development of justice from the earliest human societies, where retaliation was the primary means of conflict resolution, to the emergence of formal legal systems and the concept of punishment as a means of deterring crime. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of justice, providing valuable insights into the origins of our current legal and moral frameworks.
