Description

Explore the deep symbolism of legal authority in The Eye of the Law: Two Essays on Legal History. Written by the eminent German legal historian Michael Stolleis, this work provides an original look at how law is characterized as being above society. Through these two essays, readers follow the historical evolution of the central metaphor of the 'eye' from antiquity to the modern era. The text traces the development of legal imagery from the Greek Eye of Justice and the impartial judge of the Underworld to the Eye of God, the Eye of the Prince, and finally to the almighty Eye of the Law. This book offers a compelling perspective on how these symbols have shaped our perception of justice and authority. It is an essential read for those interested in how historical metaphors continue to influence our modern understanding of legal systems and the belief in the law.
