The 13 essays, originally published between 1963 and 1991, look at lessons to be learned about law from the study of literature, literary theory, and linguistics; and at the law of language and literature. Among their topics are law as rhetoric, rhetoric as law: the arts of cultural and communal life; linguistic indeterminacy; transcendental deconstruction, transcendental justice; morals and the constitution: the sin of obscenity; cultural heterogeneity and law: pornography, blasphemy, and the First amendment.
