Summary
Walter Grasnick: Towards a new theory of law
At the beginning I would like to thank the publisher Zoran Stojanović. Each reader will decide for himself whether these collected articles of mine should have been published. And the author already knows one thing for sure: it's good for him, because it forced him to do something that normally rarely happens for various reasons. He had to deal with his texts again. It is similar to re-reading other people's texts. I think that the beginning of those texts is interesting - not only in novels. A smart, competent connoisseur and critic, such as Rolf Folman, thinks that the novel can be defined like this: for him, the beginning is not important at all "but only how it continues". I don't believe in that at all. Not looking back at how it begins would mean not paying enough attention to the literary element of the novel. Novel, essay. Also of scientific writing. We cannot avoid the literary element. Neither literary nor rhetorical. And this applies even to the judges' decisions. It is no coincidence that we know not only law and literature, but precisely law as literature. As well as - also very justified - the rhetorical theory of law.
