Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Not for the casual reader. But if you have a curiosity about what "the rule of law" is about, this book provides one perspective in the form of deeply philosophical metatheory. About as easy to read and follow as Heidegger's Being and Time. The text touches on a number of interesting points, but then goes quickly on to slog through the next bullet point. There is no payoff for the investment in making it to the end, unfortunately. Having outlined how "the cultural study of law" should be conducted, he does not actually do any to show us how it might be different from what's going on now.

Belief in the rule of law characterizes our society, our political order, and even our identity as citizens. The Cultural Study of Law is the first full examination of what it means to conduct a modern intellectual inquiry into the culture of law. Paul Kahn outlines the tools necessary for such an inquiry by analyzing the concepts of time, space, citizen, judge, sovereignty, and theory within the culture of law's rule. Charting the way for the development of a new intellectual discipline, Paul Kahn advocates an approach that stands outside law's normative framework and looks at law as a way of life rather than as a set of rules. "Professor Kahn's perspective is neat and alluring: We need a form of legal scholarship released from the project of reform so that we can better understand who and what we are. The new discipline should study 'not legal rules, but the imagination as it constructs a world of legal meaning.' . . . [C]oncise, good reading, and recommended." --New York Law Journal No library descriptions found. |
