Complementary in several major ways, concepts and theories of law can be used to formulate fresh ideas about the humanities, and vice versa. Law, Mystery, and the Humanities, a collection of essays by leading scholars, is based on the hypothesis that law has significant contributions to make to ongoing discussions of philosophical issues recurrent in the humanities.The philosophical issues in question include the role of rationality in human experience, the problem of dissent, the persistence of suffering, and the possibility of transcendence. In each of these areas, law is used to add complexity and offer divergent perspectives, thus moving important questions in the humanities forward by introducing the possibility of alternative analysis. Ranging from discussions of detective fiction, Chomsky's universal grammar, the poetry of Margaret Atwood, the Great Plague of London, and more, Law, Mystery, and the Humanities offers a unique examination of trans-disciplinary potential. 606 $aLaw 606 $aHumanities 606 $aLaw and literature 606 $aSociological jurisprudence 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aHumanities. 615 0$aLaw and literature. 615 0$aSociological jurisprudence. 676 $a340.115 702 $aAtkinson$b Logan$f1954- 702 $aMajury$b Diana$f1952- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456816003321 996 $aLaw, mystery, and the humanities$92008827 997 $aUNINA
