Origins of Order: Project and System in the American Legal Imagination (Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference) - Hardcover
Buch 11 von 21: Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference
Inhaltsangabe
An examination of how two fundamental concepts of order influence our ideas about sovereignty, citizenship, law, and history
Western accounts of natural and political order have deployed two basic ideas: project and system. In a project, order is produced by the intentional act of a subject; in a system, order is immanent in the world. In the former, order is made; in the latter, discovered.
 
Paul W. Kahn shows how project and system have long been at work in our theological and philosophical tradition. Against this background, Kahn explains the development of the modern legal imagination in the nineteenth century as a movement from project to system. Americans began the century imagining the constitutional order as their common project: a deliberate construction of We the People. They ended the century imagining that order is continuous with the common law: an immanent development of the principles of civilization. This imaginative shift affected ideas of legal text, sovereignty, citizenship, interpretation, history, and science.
