While from all sides the assumptions of any law are falling, the thinking tends to focus more and more, in every sphere, on the law itself.
This is a condition at the same time original and chronic of the Modern age: something that always seems to happen for the last time - and instead continues to happen every day. Massimo Cacciari has placed at the center of this book such a paradoxical and elusive situation, in which we live today.
And, in our century, he isolated, in the most diverse fields - from mathematics (Brouwer) to law (Schmitt), from literature (Kafka) to painting (Malevich, Mondrian, Klee), from the artistic thinking (Florensky icon) to religious (Rosenzweig) - some examples of that stubborn butting against the same word: Law.
