"Law and the Utopian Imagination" seeks to explore and resuscitate
the notion of utopianism within current legal discourse. The idea
of utopia has fascinated the imaginations of important thinkers for
ages. And yet--who writes seriously on the idea of utopia today?
The mid-century critique appears to have carried the day, and a
belief in the very possibility of utopian achievements appears to
have flagged in the face of a world marked by political
instability, social upheaval, and dreary market realities. Instead
of mapping out the contours of a familiar terrain, this book seeks
to explore the possibilities of a productive engagement between the
utopian and the legal imagination. The book asks: is it possible to
re-imagine or revitalize the concept of utopia such that it can
survive the terms of the mid-century liberal critique?
Alternatively, is it possible to re-imagine the concept of utopia
and the theory of liberal legality so as to dissolve the apparent
antagonism between the two? In charting possible answers to these
questions, the present volume hopes to revive interest in a vital
topic of inquiry too long neglected by both social thinkers and
legal scholars.
