Schroeder1st ed.Berkeley University of California Press20041 online resource (328 p.)Philosophy, social theory, and the rule of law ;10Description based upon print version of record.0-520-23431-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Pandora's amphora: the eroticism of contract and gift -- Orpheus's desire: the end of the market -- Narcissus's death: the Calabresi-Melamed trichotomy -- The Midas touch: the lethal effect of wealth maximization -- The Eumenides' return: the founding of law through the repression of the feminine -- Epilogue: The birth of Venus.The theory of law and economics that dominates American jurisprudence today views the market as rational and individuals as driven by the desire to increase their wealth. It is a view riddled with misconceptions, as Jeanne Lorraine Schroeder demonstrates in this challenging work, which looks at contemporary debates in legal theory through the lens of psychoanalysis and continental philosophy. Through metaphors drawn from classical mythology and interpreted via Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy, Schroeder exposes the hidden and repressed erotics of the market. Her work shows how the predominant economic analysis of markets and the standard romantic critique of markets are in fact mirror images, reflecting the misconception that reason and passion are inalterably opposed.Philosophy, social theory, and the rule of law ;10.Law and economicsPsychological aspectsPhilosophySociological jurisprudenceFeminist jurisprudenceEconomic manUtilitarianismRomanticismEroticaalienation.commodification.consumer behavior.continental philosophy.contract theory.desire.echo.economic analysis.economics.eros.euridice.feminist theory.free market.gender.gift theory.greek mythology.hegel.individual choice.lacan.law.legal theory.market analysis.markets.midas.mythology.narcissus.nonfiction.orpheus.pandora.passion.philosophy.potlatch.property.psychoanalysis.psychology.rational egoism.rational market.rule of law.social theory.sociology.thanatos.utilitarianism.venus.wealth.Law and economicsPsychological aspectsPhilosophy.Sociological jurisprudence.Feminist jurisprudence.Economic man.Utilitarianism.Romanticism.Erotica.340/.115Schroeder Jeanne Lorraine1102224MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824355003321The triumph of Venus3969617UNINA
