"This is an important contribution to the genre of jurisprudential reflection. It considers some of the most difficult and sophisticated issues on the current intellectual scene and, unlike much 'postmodern' scholarly production, it is clear, well-argued, and often brilliantly written."--Gary Peller, Georgetown University Law Center
