This book focuses on Jurgen Habermas' theorising on law, rights and
democracy in light of the modern critique of law. The latter
tradition, which goes back to Hegel and Marx, has addressed the
limitations of rights as vocabulary of emancipation and law as
language of autonomy. Since Habermas claims that his reconstruction
of private and public autonomy has an emancipatory aim, the author
has chosen to discuss it in the context of the modern critique of
law. More specifically, the study addresses the need to consider
the dialectic of law, in which law is both a condition for
emancipation and domination, when discussing what law and rights
permit. It will appeal to students and scholars across the fields
of political theory, law and legal criticism, as well as sociology
and sociology of law.
