From ancient Mesopotamia to today, the epic story of how humans have used laws to forge civilizations???Rulers throughout history have used laws to impose order.?But laws were not simply?instruments?of power and social control. They also offered ordinary?people?a way?to?express?their?diverse?visions for a better world.???In?The?Rule of Laws,?Oxford scholar Fernanda Pirie?traces?the rise and fall of?the?sophisticated legal systems?underpinning?ancient empires?and religious traditions,?while?also?showing?how?common?people?tribal?assemblies,?merchants, farmers?called on laws to?define their communities,?regulate trade, and?build civilizations.?Although legal principles originating in Western Europe now seem to dominate the globe,?the variety of the world?s laws has long been almost as great as the variety of its societies. What truly unites?human beings, Pirie argues,?is?our very faith that laws can?produce justice,?combat?oppression,?and?create?order from chaos.??
