| Summary |
This volume focuses on the sublime and proposes that the ethical aspect involved in the legal sublime is to contain the arrogance of the law. It also draws attention to the ""and"" of interdisciplinary literary-legal studies: Law's disciplinary autonomy has been challenged. This volume offers new daring comparisons between philosophical fields and between apparently distant historical periods. |
