Law's Task : The Tragic Circle of Law, Justice and Human Suffering Hardback
by Louis E. Wolcher
Part of the Applied Legal Philosophy series
Hardback
Description
What is the ultimate task of law? This deceptively simple question guides this volume towards a radically original philosophical interpretation of law and justice.
Weaving together the philosophical, jurisprudential and ethical problems suggested by five general terms - thinking, human suffering, legal meaning, time and tragedy - the book places the idea of law's ultimate task in the context of what actually happens when people seek to do justice and enforce legal rights in a world that is inflected by the desperation and suffering of the many.
It traces the rule of law all the way down to its most fundamental level: the existence of universal human suffering and how it is that law-doers inflict or tolerate that suffering.
