Introduction to legal theories: Basic jurisprudential studies

The book Introduction to Legal Theories: Basic Jurisprudential Studies is the latest book by Maimul Ahsan Khan, a law professor at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. This book may be considered a text as well as a reference book on legal theories with especial emphasis on IslÉmic jurisprudence. This book is written primarily for law students. However, its rich materials are equally important for sociologists with interest in legal studies. Philosophers and political thinkers also would find the book enormously important for their students. The book has at least two distinguishing features: (i) it explains legal theories in the context of Bangladesh and Muslim political thought and (ii) it explains legal theories and modern political doctrines by juxtaposing them with IslÉmic postulates and IslÉmic legal and political theories.
