LAW AND IDEOLOGY: CRITICAL EXPLORATIONS
Rafal Manko*
Michal Stambulski* *
According to Polish legal theorist Marek Zirk-Sadowski, the
philosophy of law as a discipline can be approached from two distinct
directions: either from the direction moving 'from law to philosophy',
whereby lawyers try to answer the fundamental questions of jurisprudence by
theorising on the basis of legal experience, or, in the opposite direction, that
is 'from philosophy to law', whereby a certain philosopher or philosophical
school is 'applied' to the legal field.1 Within the second paradigm of legal
philosophy, in recent years there has been a growing tendency to analyse the
implications of postmodernism, posthumanism2, or postructuralism upon the
legal domain. Specialised volumes analysing the potential inspiration that can
be drawn by critical lawyers from the works of such philosophers as
Althusser, Deleuze and Gattari, Lefebvre, Agamben have been recently
published.3 Most recently, even a volume on Zizek and Law came out.4
This special edition of the Wroclaw Review of Law, Administration
and Economics brings together a number of papers in which Polish and
foreign scholars, both emergent and established, approach the topic of the
