The book takes as its starting point a restriction on the freedom of concept formation that is dictated by classical logic’s inability to handle antinomies in reason’s attempts to constitute its own foundations. Relating this to law’s claim of right, the notion of ‘wrong’ does not fasten on law’s violence or injustice, and neither does it seek to elaborate a moral or ethical critique of law. On the contrary: it is sceptical of, and seeks an alternative to, the various ethical turns of recent legal and political theory. The ‘wrong’ of the wrong of law is logical and epistemic in character. It is a failure or refusal to recognise the cognitive relevance of contradictions of self-reference. In this respect, The Wrong of Law draws on a metaphysical-logical development from Kant via Hegel and Marx to the foundations of modern logic, in order to establish the sense in which a restriction on self-reference amounts to a limitation on truth-seeking or comprehension. This limitation is then demonstrated through
analysis of the reasoning in a series of legal cases in Australia, concerning Indigenous peoples.
This book will be of significant interest to scholars in critical legal theory, the philosophy of law and jurisprudence; as well as others with an interest in foundational studies across the disciplinary borders of metaphysics, mathematical logic, sociology and legal theory.
