Tóm tắt
This chapter builds upon William Twining’s 1967 lecture, ‘Pericles and the Plumber’ and his 1997 chapter, ‘Pericles Regained?’ - although perhaps at the risk of the metaphor groaning under the weight of so much scholarly attention. It seeks to deepen and amplify three aspects of the discussion so far. First, it traces the emergence and crystallisation of the dichotomy. Historical observations about universities, the liberal arts and the relationship of law to both, are applied towards this purpose. Secondly, how one imagines the discipline of law influences the extent to which the dichotomy is either reinforced or broken down. A conception of the discipline is put forward towards achieving the latter. Thirdly, it reconceptualises the relationship between Pericles and the plumber with the effect that the latter becomes a necessary but not sufficient condition for achieving the former. Insights from developmental psychology are applied – particularly Kohlberg’s six stages of moral reasoning and Radding’s explanation of the eleventh century cognitive shift which, he argues, gave rise to both law and universities. The conclusion highlights the value of knowledge generated by courtroom combat - as one of the sources of historic and future transformations of the human mind. © 2008 Brill. All rights reserved.
