lex mundi
French professor Ren� David is one of the most renowned scholars of comparative law and this book is his masterpiece. Committed to the Cartesian methodology, the work is divided in four parts, each part representing a major legal system: i) Romanists, ii) Soviet law, iii) Common-law, iv) Eastern law. Read more

Big Step in the Historiography of Catholic Higher Education
Contending With Modernity by Philip Gleason, of Notre Dame University. Book is subtitled, "Catholic Higher Education in the Twentieth Century." At the outset, Professor Gleason notes that thehistoriography of Catholic Higher Education is severely limited.I boughtProf. Gleason's book (from Amazon.com, by the way) since there were so veryfew books dealing with the history of Catholic colleges and universities inthe United States. And I needed references for my MA thesis on Catholiccolleges. By writing a history of Catholic higher education, from 1900 to1995, Dr. Gleason has expanded the field.In covering this time period,the author has chosen to emphasize the struggles of Catholic colleges anduniversities to deal with modern ideas. These struggles were exacerbated bythe suspicion within the Catholic Church raised by "Americanism"a name given to the modern forces which presented grave dangers to theFaith and identified, rightly or wrongly, with the American church. Gleasonspends the first part of his book showing how that mis-identificationaffected American Catholic schools up until about the end of World War II;he then brings in various other historical events and figures, includingthe work of Dorothy Day, Fr. Curran at The Catholic University of Americaand, towards the end of the book, the charge of anti-intellectualism lodgedby Msgr. John Tracy Ellis.Philip Gleason, however, does not raise thecounter-charge by Rev. Andrew M. Greeley, the noted fiction writer andsociologist, who has found Catholic schools be just about as intellectualor anti-intellectual as other colleges and universities in the UnitedStates.In the last few pages, Prof. Gleason missed a grand opportunity toexplore in greater detail the potential impact of "Ex CordeEcclesiae", the August 1990 Constitutional Document of Pope John PaulII, on modern Catholic higher education.Some features of this document,such as the requirement for an Oath of Fidelity, have been fought on thegrounds of academic freedom and autonomy for the Catholic colleges anduniversities (particularly by some in the Association of Catholic Collegesand Universities, ACCU). The author has documented his citations withabout 92 pages of notes and references, making this volume a great stepforward in filling the gap in the historiography of Catholic HigherEducation.There are many nuggets to be mined, as, for example, if yourinterests is the "Great Books" approach to higher education, Dr.Gleason's book leads you to references for the attempted "GreatBooks" program at St. Mary's College in Moraga, California. The bookis worth the price for wonderful tidbits such as that. ... Read more
