The most radical philosophy of law of our time. Gilles Deleuze has provided the most fascinating account of law of the twentieth century. Yet it is hidden in a just a few clues dispersed throughout his work and no complete reconstruction of it has ever been produced. Laurent de Sutter gathers all the elements that compose Deleuze's philosophy of law and articulates them for the first time in a real system: the result is the most devastating critique of the very idea of law. But it is also the most surprising, praising the actual practice of jurisprudence. This is not simply a practice of judgment, but a practice of radical creation and leads to an intriguing question: what if lawyers were the only true revolutionaries of our time?
