Rafał Mańko (University of Amsterdam – Centre for the Study of European Contract Law (CSECL)) & Michał Stambulski have posted Law and Ideology: Critical Explorations (Wrocław Review of Law, Administration and Economics 5.1 (2015): 1-4. DOI: 10.1515/wrlae-2015-0019) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
According to Polish legal theorist Marek Zirk-Sadowski, the philosophy of law as a discipline can be approached from two distinct directions: either from the direction moving ‘from law to philosophy’, whereby lawyers try to answer the fundamental questions of jurisprudence by theorising on the basis of legal experience, or, in the opposite direction, that is ‘from philosophy to law’, whereby a certain philosopher or philosophical school is ‘applied’ to the legal field. Within the second paradigm of legal philosophy, in recent years there has been a growing tendency to analyse the implications of postmodernism, posthumanism or postructuralism upon the legal domain. It is in this second current that the area of "law and ideology" as a distinct area of critical legal research is currently emerging.
