Maldonado, Daniel Bonilla
Legal barbarians : identity, modern comparative law and the global South - New York Cambridge University Press 2021 - 179 p. - Cambridge studies in international and comparative law .
"Law is a form of imagining reality. Subjects give meaning to the world trough law. Nevertheless, law is not outside of individuals. It is not a conceptual and practical set of tools that exist outside subjects and that they occasionally appeal to give meaning to their environment. There is no individual outside of law; law constructs the subject. The subject thus describes itself and gives meaning to the world by means of the eyes of law, which are its own eyes. Of course, this does not mean that the law is the only form of imagining reality. Science, aesthetics, and morality, for example, compete with law for the construction of individuals"-- ECIP introduction.
