Description

Explore a new taxonomy of jurisprudence and legal practice in The Four Lacanian Discourses: or Turning Law Inside Out. Published by Birkbeck Law Press and distributed by Routledge, this work utilizes the discourse theory of Jacques Lacan to examine the foundations of law. While H.L.A. Hart's positivist jurisprudence remains a dominant influence in the anglophone academy, this book addresses the gaps left by such theories. It examines how legal scholarship often diverges from positivism, moving instead toward policy-oriented studies that explain law through collective societal goals or doctrinal legal scholarship. This text provides a unique perspective on how law functions beyond traditional positivist frameworks.
