THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY-THE DARK AGE IN LEGAL HISTORY

Authors

Joseph F. Francis, Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma

Abstract

Everywhere during the last few decades there has been a revolution in the thinking of educated men. I refer to the revolution in logical method and thought that had its impetus first in the non-Euclidian mathematicians. was then carried on by the logicians and philosophers and finally culminated in the startling conclusions announced by Einstein. This revolution has been an attack on absolutism and on the metaphysical nonentities that pervade all man's learning. The attack is not new, it is only new in vigor, in scope, and in promise.
