Download or read book Law as Symbolic Form written by Deniz Coskun and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-07-17 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the rule of law as the reign of persuasion rather than the reign of force, and democracy as the reign by persuasion rather than the reign by force. It synthesizes a vast amount of current Cassirer-literature and makes a contribution to jurisprudence. The book is the first systematic elaboration on law as a symbolic form and it sheds new light on a still dark area of intellectual and jurisprudential thought.
