Indeks : p.515-516 The era of modernity is drawing to a close, one may wonder what consequence this might have on the quintessentially modern idea of a universal Rule of Law. Though international lawyers have received much of their professional vocabulary from ancient sources - Roman law and Christian ethics - in a relevant sense their profession is based on distinctly modernist ideas about social organization and political legitimacy. Central to these ideas is the belief that human society is an artificial creation and that its only legitimate organizing principle is the Rule of Law - the principle that the health of the political realm is only maintained by conscientious objection to the political. This book intends to make a contribution towards rehabilitating theory - a post-realist theory which would articulate for international lawyers the experience of what some have (perhaps somewhat too hastily) called post-modernism.
