Who among the following has defined Jurisprudence as a study of fundamental legal principles including their philosophical, Historical and sociological bases and analysis of legal concepts?
Answer: C
The definition of jurisprudence as a study of fundamental legal principles, including their philosophical, historical and sociological bases, and an analysis of legal concepts is attributed to Dr M. J. Sethna, the Indian author of a well-known text on jurisprudence, and the option is keyed accordingly.
Thomas Erskine Holland described jurisprudence as the formal science of positive law, and John Austin called it the philosophy of positive law. Amartya Sen is an economist and philosopher best known for work on welfare economics and the idea of justice, not for a definition of jurisprudence. The keyed attribution rests on the Indian textbook, so a reviewer may wish to check it.
