Gearey, Adam (2004) Love and death in American jurisprudence: myth, aesthetics, law. Studies in Law, Politics and Society 33 , pp. 3-23. ISSN 1059-4337.
Abstract
Aesthetic jurisprudence must take seriously the myth of community,1 the antagonistic of intimacy; love and death.2 Myth, however, must also be seized in its peculiarity. Rather than affirming coherence or the pattern of the past, it is a discourse that undoes itself. Indeed, myth does not provide a comforting story of belonging and foundations, it reminds us of the antagonisms of the human condition and the problematic nature of thought itself.
