In early modern Europe the law developed as one of the few
non-religious orderings of civil life. Its separation from religion
was, however, never complete and we see the contest continued today
not only in the campaigns of religious fundamentalists of the
right, but also in the clains of critical intellectuals to reshape
government institutions and the legal apparatus in accordance with
moral principle - whether of indivudual autonomy or communitarian
self-determination. In Anti-Lawyers, David Saunders traces the
story of this unresolved conflict from Hobbes' Leviathan to the
American law texts of today, and discusses how we might regard
today's moral critics of government and law in the light of the
early modern effort to disengage spiritual discipline from secular
government and conscience from law. Separate sections look at major
figures in English common law in the Early Modern period, French
and German absolutism and jurisprudence as it is taught in the
American law texts of today.
