Your first reference point to find out about Deleuze's philosophy of law 'A wild and savage creation of principle' is how Deleuze defined the practice of law as perpetual experimentation, or as he called it, Universal Jurisprudence. Rather than a guarantee against political, economic, or social odds, this collection of 11 essays offers insights into Gilles Deleuze's philosophy of law, a philosophy which experiments with new forms of politics, economics and society. This book shows that law has never been a conservative force but in fact is the most progressive and experimental force of the Modern Age. It explores the basic features of this universal jurisprudence, the mutual becoming of law and philosophy, for the first time. Key features connections between law and other disciplines are explored including literature, the history of philosophy, political theory and geography several entirely new theories of Deleuze's relationship to law are proposed contributors are from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and include academics from British, American and Australian law schools Laurent de Sutter is FWO Senior Researcher in Legal Theory at Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
