Mehr zum Buch
France's most incisive jurist, Alain Supiot, critically examines the foundational beliefs of contemporary society, particularly the cults of free markets and human rights. His exploration addresses pressing issues with great erudition, making it a valuable read for those interested in the legal trajectory of advanced capitalism. While some may view Supiot's corrective as somewhat utopian, his insights into the shortcomings of current legal trends contribute meaningfully to dissenting perspectives. Supiot employs an anthropological lens to analyze the role of law in human life, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of universalism. This approach yields a wealth of observations that underpin a rigorous reflection, well-supported by legal examples. After years of prioritizing homo economicus, the emergence of homo juridicus is a welcome development. Supiot's work underscores the anthropological function of law, reminding us that humans exist not only within the economic realm but also in a universe of signs, emphasizing our metaphysical nature.
