First line
It is an aspect of modern life frequently remarked that we divide up our experience into separate compartments or categories, each of which has its own kind of validity, its own language, but which do not readily fit together into a meaningful whole.
From the rear cover
A pioneer in the law and humanities, James Boyd White here develops a way of criticizing the work of judges that he then uses as the basis for a more general method of cultural criticism. White argues that analytic philosophy and economics are inadequate as modes of legal criticism. He turns instead to the practice of translation to expose the intellectual and ethical center of legal experience and to connect it with other forms of cultural action. The unified vision of law and cultural process defined in this book provides a ground both for the criticism of law and for a general understanding of the ways in which we negotiate our identities and build our communities through language.
