In the context of our increasingly global legal order, Pierre
Legendre's God in the Mirror reconsiders the place of law within
the division of existing bodies of knowledge. Navigating the texts
of Ovid, Augustine, Roman jurists, medieval canon lawyers, Freud,
Lacan, the notebooks of Leonardo de Vinci, and the paintings of
Magritte, this third volume of Pierre Legendre's Lessons focuses on
the relation of the subject to the institution of images. Legendre
tracks the origins and vicissitudes of the specular metaphor within
western history, carrying out a critique of its dependence on the
discourse of the Imago Dei. A crucial landmark within Legendre's
ongoing reconsideration of a medieval 'revolution of
interpretation', this book dissociates the western normative
tradition from its mythic foundation, separating theology and law.
It thereby documents the advent of modern rational doubt, as a new
legal foundation or ground: one that, for Legendre, was not only a
revolutionary invention, but one that produced the modern European
idea of the State.
