On Flat Ontologies and Law

"""In his innovative work, Michał Dudek expands the normative binaries that sustain hierarchically normative ontologies in law by flattening such strata through dynamic, material, and communicative dimensionalities that reexamine the human and nonhuman, the social and nonsocial, the institutional and everyday. On Flat Ontologies and Law is a must-read for those who think deeply about law, life, and the realized in-between."" Sarah Marusek, University of Hawaii, USA. ""The intersection of law and flat ontologies is exerting considerable influence, challenging established hierarchies, and ushering in a new era in the legal landscape. Both timely and path-breaking, this convergence has the potential to reshape our understanding of law, offering new perspectives on inclusion and ethical considerations within the legal framework. By recognizing the status of all entities, whether human or non-human, this convergence fosters the emergence of new theories and adapted practices."" Anne Wagner, Université de Lille, France. ""This is a book not to be missed by anyone interested in the theory and philosophy of law. In addition to the more usual linguistic, psychological, social, and institutional dimensions of law, the author leads us to discover an often ignored but equally compelling facet: the material dimension of law.""
