Between passion and senses? Emotional dimensions of legal cultures in historical perspective (original) (raw)

Abstract

Does passion influence law making? Are senses part of the juridical process? Do emotions have anything at all to do with law? 1 Law regulates emotional behavior and legal procedures often arouse emotions (Posner 1999). But are passions and emotions innately woven into the texture of law? This special issue argues that understanding the debates on, and concepts and perceptions of, emotions is essential to comprehending law in a fundamental and multifaceted manner. 2
