Summary
The Conclusion uses Karl N. Llewellyn’s“What Price Contract? – An Essay in Perspective” to bring together many of the dominant themes discussed in the book. For three-dimensional law to arise legal scholars must be more refined in their perception of ideas – civilized growth, in Holmes’s view, depended on that. Holmes’s sensitivity to multivalency becomes then the leading goal of a well-wrought legal pedagogy. The more law could muster feeling, the more civilized the nation would grow. At least that was Holmes’s hope as he expressed it to Harold J. Laski.
