Law as a symbolic form
pp. 245-275
Abstract
In this chapter we focus on why and how law is a symbolic form. We explain that law as a symbolic form is closely tied to Cassirer's intellectual and practical interest in the human rights tradition. Jurisprudence is the discipline that should provide a basis for the human rights tradition.
