Nothing could be
more urgent than the quest for ‘worlds other’ than the unsustainable
status quo. Philosophical and jurisprudential engagement with questions
of legal standing, of legal subjectivity and personhood, of legal
‘rights-bearers’, form an important part of the urgent search for an
eco-humane future worthy of the name, for we live in a world pervasively
structured by law's power to foreclose – or open – the ‘categories of
the possible’ – a world in which law's intervention always has
inescapably
material effect. The rich contributions to this edition represent a fabulous
meditation upon one of the most refreshing juridical re-imaginations of
possible ‘worlds other’ to have emerged from legal scholarship in the
past 40 years.
