- Summary:
- Aesthetic Dimensions of Law and Justice Desmond Manderson In this pathbreaking analysis of the aesthetics of law, Manderson argues that by treating a text, legal or otherwise, as if it were merely a sequence of logical propositions, readers miss its formal and symbolic meanings. Law, for Manderson, is imperfectly realized, and always in flux.
