The Philosophy of Proof: In Its Relation to the English Law of Judicial Evidence is a book written by John Reynolds Gulson and first published in 1905. The book explores the nature of proof in the context of the English legal system and the rules of evidence that govern it. Gulson argues that the concept of proof is inherently philosophical, and that a proper understanding of it requires a deeper exploration of epistemology, logic, and metaphysics.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a theoretical framework for understanding the nature of proof and its relationship to the law. Gulson discusses the various theories of knowledge and truth, and how they relate to the concept of proof. He also examines the role of logic and reasoning in the legal process, and how they are used to establish the validity of evidence.The second part of the book focuses on the specific rules of evidence in the English legal system. Gulson examines the various types of evidence that are admissible in court, such as witness testimony, documentary evidence, and physical evidence. He also discusses the rules for the admissibility of evidence, such as the requirement for relevance and reliability.Overall, The Philosophy of Proof is a comprehensive exploration of the nature of proof and its relationship to the law. It provides a valuable resource for legal scholars, philosophers, and anyone interested in the intersection of law and philosophy.In 2 parts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
