Foucault's Law is the first book in almost fifteen years to address
the question of Foucault's position on law. Many readings of
Foucault's conception of law start from the proposition that he
failed to consider the role of law in modernity, or indeed that he
deliberately marginalized it. In canvassing a wealth of primary and
secondary sources, Ben Golder and Peter Fitzpatrick rebut this
argument. They argue that rather than marginalize law, Foucault
develops a much more radical, nuanced and coherent theory of law
than his critics have acknowledged. For Golder and Fitzpatrick,
Foucault's law is not the contained creature of conventional
accounts, but is uncontainable and illimitable. In their radical
re-reading of Foucault, they show how Foucault outlines a concept
of law which is not tied to any given form or subordinated to a
particular source of power, but is critically oriented towards
alterity, new possibilities and different ways of being. Foucault's
Law is an important and original contribution to the ongoing debate
on Foucault and law, engaging not only with Foucault's diverse
writings on law and legal theory, but also with the extensive
interpretive literature on the topic. It will thus be of interest
to students and scholars working in the fields of law and social
theory, legal theory and law and philosophy, as well as to students
of Foucault's work generally.
