Mootz offers an antidote to the fragmentation of contemporary legal
theory with a collection of essays arguing that legal practice is a
hermeneutical and rhetorical event that can best be understood and
theorized in those terms. This is not a modern insight that wipes
away centuries of dogmatic confusion; rather, Mootz draws on
insights as old as the Western tradition itself. However, the
essays are not antiquarian or merely descriptive, because
hermeneutical and rhetorical philosophy have undergone important
changes over the millennia. To "return" to hermeneutics and
rhetoric as touchstones for law is to embrace dynamic traditions
that provide the resources for theorists who seek to foster
persuasion and understanding as an antidote to the emerging global
order and the trend toward bureaucratization in accordance with
expert administration, violent suppression, or both.
