The Anxiety of the Jurist: Legality, Exchange and Judgement [Hardcover]

The contributions in this volume pay homage to Zenon Ba?kowski, with a focus on problems concerning laws normalization and the revitalizing force of anxiety. Ranging from political critique to methodological issues and from the role of human rights in development to the role of parables and analogy in legal reasoning, the contributions themselves are testament to the richness of Ba?kowskis scholarship, as well as to the applicability of his core ideas to a wide range of issues. Divided into five parts, the book focuses on the role and methods of the jurist; conceptions of legality and the experience of living under rules; jurisprudential issues affecting exchange and the market; and the burden and methods of legal judgement. It also includes Ba?kowskis 2011 valedictory lecture and a bibliography of his work. Comprising all original contributions, the contributors represent a balance of established, leading figures and younger, emerging scholars in the field of legal and social theory.Contents: Introduction, Maksymilian Del Mar and Claudio Michelon; Part 1 The Jurist at Work: The jurists conscience: reflections around Radbruch, Roger Cotterrell; Citizenship and social class revisited: liberal reason, sociology and public places, John Holmwood; Thinking in images in legal theory, Maksymilian Del Mar; History in the service of life: laws authority and dealing with the past, Adam Czarnota.
