Overview

This book is an interpretation and critique of Habermas's philosophy of law in his Between Facts and Norms. Marsh argues that, while Habermas is insightful in laying out a new conceptual and methodological foundation for the philosophy of law, the book is flawed by a fundamental contradiction: that of a democracy ruled by law and by capitalism.
