Law Unlimited

Description

This book engages with a traditional yet persistent question of legal theory – what is law? However instead of attempting to define and limit law the aim of the book is to unlimit law to take the idea of law beyond its conventionally accepted boundaries into the material and plural domains of an interconnected human and nonhuman world. Against the backdrop of analytical jurisprudence the book draws theoretical connections and continuities between different experiences spheres and modalities of law. Taking up the many forms of critical and socio-legal thought it presents a broad challenge to legal essentialism and abstraction as well as an important contribution to more general normative theory. Reading crystallising and extending themes that have emerged in legal thought over the past century this book is the culmination of the author’s 25 years of engagement with legal theory. Its bold attempt to forge a thoroughly contemporary approach to law will be of enormous value to those with interests in legal and socio-legal theory. | Law Unlimited
