This book describes the rule of law as the reign of persuasion rather than the reign of force, and democracy as the reign by persuasion rather than the reign by force. It synthesizes a vast amount of current Cassirer-literature and makes a contribution to jurisprudence. The book is the first systematic elaboration on law as a symbolic form and it sheds new light on a still dark area of intellectual and jurisprudential thought.

From the reviews:
“Deniz Coskun is convinced that Ernst Cassirer’s work is vital for those legal and socio-legal scholars who ... believe that philosophy is crucial to the study of law. ... It is scholarly, careful, and thorough, detailing Cassirer’s position on human rights, ethics, and semiotics, and explaining his complex relations with German neo-Kantianism. ... In sum, Coskun’s book will prove to be a valuable tool for those who want the law to be understood in terms of meaning and ethics ... .” (Gary Wickham, International Journal for the Semiotics of Law, Vol. 22, 2009)Jurisprudence, according to Cassirer, is not merely the systematic, conceptual pursuance of ethics. They are separate domains for Cassirer, and both direct their claims differently on the individual. Whereas ethics concerns the motives of the individual, law ultimately achieves a cosmos for our world of outward actions. However, they are not separated by a neutral line or a vacuum. For law to have effect as a symbolic form it is necessary that it reflects the law in the mind of people i.e., that one could and ought to have assented to it out of ethical principles and maxims. The conceptual analysis of law goes hand to hand with its genetic account. Both ethics and law are products of, spring forth from the formative or symbolic powers of man, and although, as any other symbolism, they might confront us as something objective, i.e., as part of reality that is beyond our immediate reach, ultimately we must always bring them to account to their very source: our independent and individual moral judgment.
In this book we describe the rule of law as the reign of persuasion rather than the reign of force, and democracy as the reign by persuasion rather than the reign by force.
