Negativce comparative law: a strong programme for weak thought - New York Cambridge University Press 2022 - 466p. - Cambridge studies in international and comparative law .
Negative Comparative Law: A Strong Programme for Weak Thought by Pierre Legrand is a critical examination of comparative law's traditional methodologies and epistemologies. Legrand challenges the field's tendency to homogenize legal systems, advocating instead for an approach that respects and preserves the foreignness of different legal cultures. Drawing inspiration from various disciplinary discourses, he critiques the reduction of foreign legal systems to mere extensions of one's own, emphasizing the importance of understanding and valuing legal diversity. The book comprises fifteen essays that collectively argue for a more nuanced and culturally sensitive practice of comparative law, urging comparatists to move beyond dominant paradigms and embrace the complexities inherent in legal foreignness.
