Law, society and collective consciousness

This book, the latest from the pen of Justice V.R. Krishna lyer, spans a plural range of subjects sublimely knit together by a deep humanism and concern for societal progress. The integral yoga of Law and Society takes the centre of the stage in the book. And so it embraces legal education, justices, justicing, reform of the court system and, above all, a new school of jurisprudence relying not on commands, pains and penalties but on broadening and deepening of consciousness, individual and collective, so as to tune society to a finer harmony, free from the crime-prone pathology of tension, excitation and stress related breakdowns. Here we find with a freshness new adventures in legal thought, unorthodox but authentic criticisms of the cult of the robe and a pharmacopoeia of creative intelligence which offers a healing hope for humanity in its quest for happiness which is everyman's birthright.
