Les Opérations du droit

Synopsis of Les Opérations du droit

This book, written by Yann Thomas, explores the 'operations of law', techniques that link people with things, creating an architecture of the social world. The author analyzes how these techniques emancipate themselves from the events that originated them, maintaining their relevance over time. The work is divided into two parts: the first examines the institution of law in the city and nature, while the second analyzes limit cases and exceptions to reveal the ordinary rules. Thomas conceives of law as an instrument for thinking beyond the legal, using notions of time and fiction.
