Deleuze and law / edited by Laurent de Sutter and Kyle McGee.

"Rather than a guarantee against political, economic, or social odds, this collection of 11 essays offers insights into Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of law, a philosophy which experiments with new forms of politics, economics, and society. This book shows that law has never been a conservative force but is in fact the most progressive and experimental force of the Modern Age. It explores the basic features of this universal jurisprudence, the mutual becoming of law and philosophy, for the first time."--Page 4 of cover.
