Rostam J. Neuwirth

Law in the Time of Oxymora (eBook, ePUB)

A Synaesthesia of Language, Logic and Law

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Law in the Time of Oxymora is dedicated to the apparent rise in recent years in rhetorical devices called "essentially oxymoronic concepts". These concepts include oxymora, contradictions in terms (enantiosis), and paradoxes, which all share the feature of apparent contradictions in their content albeit to varying degrees. In trying to understand the relevance of the rise of these concepts for our lives today and tomorrow, the book tracks and compares them in the different contexts of art, science, and particularly law with a view to deriving important insights into the realms of decision making and governance in the future.
