Abstract
-
This seems like another rather odd way to introduce a chapter that is
supposed to be about historicising legal theory, whatever that is. Yet it is precisely
everything about this chapter and its place in this book. OK, so you might think
that history has something to do with legal theory and that that is something
completely different. You might think that legal theory is completely different
from law - if so, we clearly have some way to go in this book. In this chapter we
invite you to experience a very different way into thinking legally, immersing you
into the known and the unknown, in order to find out how much our non-legal
worlds - our NLDBs - affect legal interpretation and legal thinking. And that is
something completely different from anything you would possibly expect from a
book about legal theory, even an extravert one like this.
