The roots of modern Western legal institutions and concepts go back nine centuries to the Papal Revolution, when the Western church established its political and legal unity and its independence from emperors, kings, and feudal lords. Out of this upheaval came the Western idea of integrated legal systems consciously developed over generations and centuries. Harold J. Berman describes the main features of these systems of law, including the canon law of the church, the royal law of the major kingdoms, the urban law of the newly emerging cities, feudal law, manorial law, and mercantile law. In the coexistence and competition of these systems he finds an important source of the Western belief in the supremacy of law. Written simply and dramatically, carrying a wealth of detail for the scholar but also a fascinating story for the layman, the book grapples with wideranging questions of our heritage and our future. One of its main themes is the interaction between the Western belief in legal evolution and the periodic outbreak of apocalyptic revolutionary upheavals. Berman challenges conventional nationalist approaches to legal history, which have neglected the common foundations of all Western legal systems. He also questions conventional social theory, which has paid insufficient attention to the origin of modem Western legal systems and has therefore misjudged the nature of the crisis of the legal tradition in the twentieth century.

读后感
法律来自西方。无论是大陆法系，还是普通法系， 再或者是所谓的社会主义法系，概莫能外。尽管我们会争辩说：中国也有曾像《唐律疏议》或者《大清律例》这样的律法。但别忘了，自清末修律开始，传统的法律被我们扔的干干净净。所以，我们不得不把视角挪向西方，而我也曾激进得认...
评分哈罗德•J•伯尔曼的《法律与革命——西方法律传统的形成》是一部当之无愧的巨著，不单是指其书本厚度而言，更是指其思想之深度与探究之广度，实在是大大拓展了我们学习和研究西方法律传统的视野。对于这样的著作，我自知没有能力进行评价，以当前的学识也无法提出有创新的...
评分读这本书是法学学生必须要做的功课。但是坦诚的说，读这本书需要的历史和法制史基础还是蛮高的。看第一遍的时候我是边看边忘，现在偶尔翻翻，感觉还是有点距离感，不知道是不是翻译的问题。 教会法一章写的真是精彩。
评分对于贺卫方和张志铭两位的翻译，我只能说的敬佩，在文中可以很顺畅，甚至是幽默、紧张的看到权利与法律的互动的过程，看到历史的时光的流转。 至于另外两位，呵呵，不说了，翻译的是在的绕口。
评分伯老写这本书的目的是希望通过对西方法律传统的历史梳理来找到他眼中解决当代西方法律传统所遇的灭顶之灾的办法。不难看出我们红本教材的很多观点（例如法律工具论）正符合他书中列举的当代西法统的危机的表现形式。红本这样的教材让大一新生读，真的有利于我们的法学生群体解...
