2: Two Faces of Law
Ϯ by DAVID POCOCK
Lecturer in Indian Sociology in the University of Oxford We are familiar with law as an abstraction, a concept ' brooding upon the face of the waters ' and ordering society from somewhere above, as it were. But does the reflexive abstraction make any sense apart from the social experience which is its matrix and its creation? Dr. Pocock reflects on the relational and systematising aspects of law, as embodied in individual societies.
