Soon after publication, the work became an international monument not only to English law, but to universal English concepts of justice and what Blackstone called "the immutable laws of good and evil." Most legal historians regard the 'Commentaries' as a brilliant application of Enlightenment reasoning to English legal history. 'Loving Justice' contends that Blackstone's work extends beyond making sense of English law to invoke emotions such as desire, disgust, sadness, embarrassment, terror, tenderness, and happiness. By enlisting an affective aesthetics to represent English law as just, Blackstone created an evocative poetics of justice whose influence persists across the Western world. In doing so, he encouraged readers to feel as much as reason their way to justice. Ultimately, Temple argues that the 'Commentaries' offers a complex map of our affective relationship to juridical culture, one that illuminates both individual and communal understandings of our search for justice, and is crucial for understanding both justice and injustice today.NYU scholarship online.Practice of lawPsychological aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01074551LawPsychological aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00993801Law and aestheticsfast(OCoLC)fst00993891Lawfast(OCoLC)fst00993678Justice in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00985152Emotions in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00908874Law and aestheticsLawPsychological aspectsPractice of lawEnglandPsychological aspectsLawEnglandHistoryEmotions in literatureJustice in literatureEnglandfastHistory.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Commentaries on the Laws of England.English legal history.Guantanamo Bay.Harper Lee.Law and Humanities.Nathaniel Hawes.Onslow v.
