Zusatztext This volume as one of the first to bring together many of her ideas on law in one volume is a timely contribution to Arendtian scholarship and provides material for those interested mainly in Arendt as well as for those mainly interested in law and legal theory… It could be particularly useful to introduce students to the work of Hannah Arendt. Informationen zum Autor Marco Goldoni is a Senior Lecturer at the Law School, University of Glasgow. Christopher McCorkindale is a lecturer in law at the Glasgow School for Business and Society at Glasgow Caledonian University. ...the more striking and radical achievement of Hannah Arendt and the Law is its success as a representational text that gathers together Arendt's insights about law for close reading and which, in carrying out this task, reverses her question about the role of law in politics...the more remarkable and unintended effect of the essays is to welcome Arendt into the fold of legal studies and not the reverse accomplishment that would have been to admit disciplinary differences while accepting that she sometimes relates to law by commenting on it. That is, these texts innovate not simply by extending the secondary literature about Arendt but by using Arendt in order to reorientate and extend legal theory, particularly where such theory looks to understand the political consequences of law.Deborah WhitehallModern Law ReviewVolume 76, Number 4The question of a stable, permanent and free order became the very question at the heart of Arendt' s political thinking and it is (...) thanks to Marco Goldoni's and Christopher McCorkindale's volume that this perspective is brought back into the academic debate.Christian VolkInternational Journal of Constitutional LawVolume 11, Number 1[This book] comprises many worthwhile contributions and benefits from the diverse academic backgrounds of the authors.
