A social-philosophical critique of law does not question its deviation from moral or natural law, but rather problematizes its effects on human coexistence. In his fundamental and far-reaching book, Daniel Loick demonstrates that and how the dominance of law in civil societies produces ethically deformed, distorted, or deficient forms of subjectivity and intersubjectivity. However, this legalism cannot be cured by overcoming or abolishing the law, but only through its radical transformation - towards a truly human, that is, social law.
