Summary "Tradition, Principally with Reference to Mythology and the Law of Nations" by Lord Arundell of Wardour is a scholarly treatise written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the interconnectedness of tradition, mythology, and legal constructs on both societal and international levels. It seeks to understand the foundational principles of law as they relate to human history, emphasizing the importance of delving into mythological legacies and their implications in the realm of international relations. The opening of the book presents a preface that establishes the author's intention to explore the implications of tradition in a modern context, particularly in the face of recent upheavals. Lord Arundell reflects on society's growing estrangement from established beliefs and traditions, urging readers to reconsider the significance of historical narratives and their impact on contemporary legal and moral frameworks. He hints at a critique of contemporaneous theories, suggesting that the study of tradition, particularly its mythological elements, offers critical insight into understanding the natural law and societal order. The author introduces key themes that will be developed in the subsequent chapters, setting the groundwork for a deep exploration of how ancient understandings can shape modern concepts of justice and governance.
