What is the ultimate task of law? This deceptively simple question
guides this volume towards a radically original philosophical
interpretation of law and justice. Weaving together the
philosophical, jurisprudential and ethical problems suggested by
five general terms - thinking, human suffering, legal meaning, time
and tragedy - the book places the idea of law's ultimate task in
the context of what actually happens when people seek to do justice
and enforce legal rights in a world that is inflected by the
desperation and suffering of the many. It traces the rule of law
all the way down to its most fundamental level: the existence of
universal human suffering and how it is that law-doers inflict or
tolerate that suffering.
