Overview

If the legal world is one of "normative indeterminacy" in which we can't have definite knowledge about the meanings of legal statutes, statements of public policy, or claims of political philosophy, then the notion of a legal justice based on consistency and objectivity seems irreparably damaged.

Indeed, the articulation of determinacy is often an attempt by the politically powerful to render an indeterminate norm to their favor. He seeks, in the words of his coda, "social cooperation in the absence of political unity." Annotation ©2003 ...
