Description
Many, inside the world of law and many more outside it, hardly realise the tremendous transformation, that jurisprudence and law are under-going in the modern age. The modern world presents a picture of statutory chaos and legal anarchy. The pristine glamour of law as a deliverance has faded in this age. The old aspirations of the 18th and the 19th centuries for law and justice in search of truth have receded to the background. The pioneering spirit appears to have dried up. The old ideal of the rule of law sounds like a ghost voice today in the legal wilderness of the age. Law is fast losing its great mission and its sense of adventure. New political philosophies, modern sciences, technology and an unbalanced craze for materialism and existentialism have challenged the primacy of law. It will not be inaccurate to describe this modern state of affairs as the age of eclipse of law. This eclipse is marked by lawless laws. It means a tragic and growing separation between law and justice. The independence of justice as concept has been surrendered to the new sophisticated slavery of justice according to law, where law is understood in an artificial, limited and technical sense. Law is becoming subsidiary and secondary. It is becoming mere administration.Specialisation in law, inevitable in many ways in many directions, has been carried to the extreme. Today it has become a curse. Modern law is neither certain nor predictable. Its major purpose is lost. It is mostly ad hoc. It is miscellaneous and pedestranian in character. Those jurists who are trying to bring order out of this chaos are doing a very great work not only to build a vision but also to serve a great cause.Much of the jurisprudence as taught today has become out of date. Most of it should be relegated to legal history. The teaching of jurisprudence in Universities and Law Schools requires a radical reorientation, both in basic ideas as well as in presentation. I have, therefore, chosen this new jurisprudence as my theme for these Tagore Lectures. But this jurisprudence is not the orthodox jurisprudence. Nor is it presented in the orthodox style
