The Mythology of Modern Law by Peter Fitzpatrick

The Mythology of Modern Law by Peter Fitzpatrick

The Mythology of Modern Law is a radical reappraisal of the role of myth in modern society. Peter Fitzpatrick uses the example of law, as an integral category of modern social thought, to challenge the claims of modernity which deny the relevance of myth to modern society.
