"The Image of Law" is the first book to examine law through the
thought of twentieth-century French philosopher Gilles Deleuze.
Lefebvre challenges the truism that judges must apply and not
create law. In a plain and lucid style, he activates Deleuze's key
themes--his critique of dogmatic thought, theory of time, and
concept of the encounter--within the context of adjudication in
order to claim that judgment has an inherent, and not an accidental
or willful, creativity. The book begins with a critique of the
neo-Kantian tradition in legal theory (Hart, Dworkin, and Habermas)
and proceeds to draw on Bergson's theory of perception and memory
and Spinoza's conception of ethics in order to frame creativity as
a necessary feature of judgment.
