This volume explores the development and consequences of
morphogenesis on normative regulation. It starts out by describing
the great normative transformations from morphostasis, as the
precondition of a harmonious relationship between legal validity
and normative consensus in society, to morphogenesis, which tends
to strongly undermine existing laws, norms, rules, rights and
obligations because of the new variety it introduces. Next, it
studies the decline of normative consensus resulting from the
changes in the social contexts that made previous forms of
normativity, based upon 'habits, 'habitus' and 'routine action',
unhelpfully misleading because they no longer constituted relevant
guidelines to action. It shows how this led to the 'Reflexive
Imperative' with subjects having to work out their own purposeful
actions in relation to their objective social circumstances and
their personal concerns, if they were to be active rather than
passive agents. Finally, the book analyses what makes for chance in
normativity, and what will underwrite future social regulation. It
discusses whether it is possible to establish a new corpus of laws,
norms and rules, given that intense morphogenesis denies the
durability of any new stable context.
