Tradition and Principles vs. Progress and Innovation: Historical and Legal Heritage in Confrontation with Modern Approaches in Law in Central Europe
There is no strictly gap between the past and the present, and this also applies to the relationship between legal history, ancient Roman law, canon law and modern law. There are traditions and ideas with power, timelessness, and rationale, which are undoubtedly consistently present in legal thinking, even in modern times. The challenges of present times inspire legal historians, romanists, and canonists to seek connections between the past and the present, but at the same time, the legal traditions, principles, values, and approaches of legal history, Roman law, and canon law are undoubtably also an inspiration for the contemporary law-making if the moder era do not want to resign itself to the words of the Roman lawyer Hermogenianus that all law is established for men`s sake.
