A N G E L A K I
journal of the theoretical humanities

volume 4 number 1 may 1999

special issue: JUDGING THE LAW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

issue editor: Barry Stocker, Yeditepe University, Turkey

_judging the law_ looks at the law as an institution, and as it is
present in thought and writing. the law claims to be what judges,
defines, limits. what gives it the right? the collection ranges widely
to address force and contradiction in the foundations of law; to examine
the ways in which, before its own court, law undermines itself and
imposes itself by force.

'Since its inception in 1993, the journal _Angelaki_ has
established itself as a leading forum of theoretical reflection,
providing a practical refutation of all those who would celebrate
"the end of theory." Whether it is focused on thematic issues of
the most varied nature, introducing thinkers to English-language
readers, or treating a variety of problems in open issues,
_Angelaki_ challenges the complacency of the self-evident.
Required reading for the next millennium.'
                                   Samuel Weber
