Springer Law as Symbolic Form: Ernst Cassirer and Law (82)

Explore a fresh perspective on jurisprudence with Law as Symbolic Form: Ernst Cassirer and the Anthropocentric View of Law. Published as part of the Law and Philosophy Library (82), this book examines the rule of law through the lens of persuasion rather than force. It provides a deep look at how democracy functions as a reign of persuasion, offering a new way to understand legal structures. This work synthesizes a wide range of current Cassirer literature to make a meaningful contribution to the field of law. As the first systematic elaboration on law as a symbolic form, it provides clarity on a previously dark area of intellectual and jurisprudential thought. Whether you are a legal scholar, a student of philosophy, or a researcher in socio-legal studies, this text offers valuable insights into the relationship between symbolic forms and legal systems. It serves as an essential resource for those studying the foundations of law and the philosophical underpinnings of democratic society.
