On the Law

Meer over het boek

The author explores the complexities of law, contrasting national law as a reflection of a unique nation with international law, which is deemed a failure due to the absence of consistent duty holders. The text presents law as a system of expectations upheld by the State, highlighting the differences between democratic and monarchical systems. In democracies, these expectations are stable and ongoing, while in monarchies, the privatized nature of the State leads to potential intellectual failures reminiscent of political theology.
