(D) DISCUSSIONS

• Eugene Oscapella, (1997) 24 Contemporary Drug Problems 409-413: “From Mr. Sin to Mr. Big reminds one of a good opera -- well sung, well written and orchestrated… One of the tragedies of our era is that a scholar of Maderson's caliber must spend his considerable talents focusing on drug policy issues that intelligent societies should long ago have resolved. However, ours remains largely a real world where drug policies are dictated by political winds, money, vested interests, misplaced morality, and McCarthyist venom. Professor Manderson is therefore left to apply his insights to the war on drugs; other important social issues are clearly losers… Perhaps the greatest joy of this book, beyond its articulate analysis, is its frequent and delightful turns of phrase and the quotability of so many passages ("Every dogma has its day" (p. 42)), many of them worth repeating abroad. About AIDS, for example: "Illegality breeds secrecy, secrecy causes uncleanliness, and dirty needles kill".”

• Law & Politics Book Review, Vol. 7 No. 7 (July 1997) pp. 330-332: “Desmond Manderson (in what is perhaps the best essay in the collection) … shows how the idea of legal normativity, with its implications as to the power and efficacy of legislation in moulding our lives and minds, was gradually gaining acceptance.”

• Peter Goodrich: “This is a work of coruscating originality… destined to found a sub-discipline of the field of law.”

• Penny Pether, ‘Semiotics,’ (1999) 20 Cardozo Law Review 1615, 1616: “We see a genuinely interdisciplinary scholar taking the risks that essaying into metaphysics demands of a post-modern intellectual… One might readily speak of Manderson approaching the height of his powers.”

• Justice Michael Kirby, Australian Book Review (September 2001) 22: “It is original in concept and execution. And Manderson’s students praise him to the stars as a brilliant lecturer. He has now published his bold academic thesis. What we need is a second book from him in which he abandons scholarly conventions and tell us, simply, what he is on about…”

• David Howes, (2001) 16 Canadian Journal of Law and Society, 229-230: “[This book] speaks to a wide range of issues in contemporary social and legal theory, while at the same time infusing the discourse of theory with notes and resolutions that have never before been heard, much less contemplated. Songs Without Music is a virtuoso performance indeed.”

• Richard Mohr, (2002) 11 Social & Legal Studies, 303-4: “This elegant, wide-ranging and stimulating book has everything but the music… A book on law and aesthetics devoting more attention to music than to visual arts or literature would in itself be a valuable corrective to previous studies. This book achieves much more by proposing, with beautiful clarity, a way of approaching law through aesthetics which allows for pluralism with judgment, and for reason

P a g e | 46

with feeling. The musical theme reinforces the message of the text by drawing down the visceral impact of music into legal discourse.”

• David Seymour, Law and Popular Culture, Current Legal Issues 7 (Oxford University Press, 2005, 71-84, 72: “Alongside this shift of perspective is a radicalization within the tradition of absence itself… This essay offers an engagement with this development through a detailed discussion of Desmond Manderson’s highly original and innovative article…”

• Peter Goodrich, (2006) “A tour de force of articulate theoretical analysis applied to the pragmatics of law.”

• Simon Critchley, (2007) 1 Law & Humanities 248-55: “Manderson displays a wonderful responsiveness to the compelling strangeness of Levinas’s work, of both the way his language moves us and, more importantly in my view, the existential resonance of that language, or the way that language resonates within us, with our sense of self and world, of their connections and disconnections. Most importantly, in a year that has been marked by largely turgid and conservative Centenary celebrations of Levinas’ birth in 1906, Manderson does something new with Levinas.

Indeed what is most striking to the non-lawyer is the way Levinas’s thinking is deepened and challenged by a thicket of cases, mainly drawn from common law, and most of those from the musings of the Australian High Court on the law of negligence…. To put it in Manderson’s own oxymoronic terms, the aim of the book is to ask how Levinas might change how ewe understand law, and how might law change the way we understand Levinas. As such the argument of the book importantly cuts two ways: against law and against Levinas… Manderson presents a fascinating, intricate, and tightly argued thicket of legal cases which culminate in showing that the common law ‘is a discourse and not a machine’: a fluid, responsive, open-ended and ongoing process of law-making in response to the experience of proximity.”

• Jacques de Ville, “Levinas on Law: A Derridean Reading of Manderson’ Proximity, Levinas, & the Soul of Law” (2007) 16 Griffith L. Rev. 225-47: “This is one of the most informed, erudite, informative, enjoyable, and thought-provoking books on the relation between Levinas, Derrida and law ever written. The contribution Manderson makes to this scholarship as well as to the law of torts is incalculable. Its publication is worthy of the name ‘event’, in the way Derrida uses the term. It is a book with a soul.”

• Adam Gearey, “A Jurisprudence of the Indirect: Proximity, Levinas and the Soul of Law” (2007) 25 Windsor Yearbook Access to Justice: “The genius and authenticity of Des Manderson’s book announces itself in the closing sentence of the acknowledgements: ‘[T]he law states is correct as of midnight on 10 March 2005. This has always struck me as bizarre both for its arrogance and its uselessness, since it is a date on which by definition the book has no readers. Between accuracy and readership there is a null set. So I will confine myself to the following: the law stated is incorrect on any day you happen to be

P a g e | 47

reading it and, if I may briefly foreshadow the long argument to come, a good thing too.’

Manderson’s engagement with Levinas’ philosophy and the law, and indeed the wit and style of this book are summed up in these words. This playful subversion of one of the set pieces of legal writing characterises a scholarship that is in pursuit of what always exceeds the law. Thus, whenever you consult a case, whenever you think that a judge has articulated a principle, ‘something’ is absent, leaving its traces in doctrine and indicating a ‘beyond’: and this “is a good thing too”. With this lightness of touch, Manderson indicates a new and intriguing form of jurisprudence; a jurisprudence of the indirect that this short review will attempt to describe. Manderson’s work to date has evoked this beyond that remains within in different terms: it might be the aesthetic, or it might be a figure of justice bound up with death; indeed, it might even be what travels under the name of Emmanuel Levinas as an ethics of alterity. Ethics, then, figures a kind of non- relation to the law; a non relation or an indirectness that Manderson claims can teach us a great deal…

Manderson’s book provokes legal scholarship to reach beyond itself. In realising one of the legacies of Levinas’ thought for legal philosophy, Manderson shows the originality of a thinking that, whilst it cannot be identified with any of the traditions of jurisprudence, cannot be dismissed as post structuralist obscurantism or some form of relativism. So—(to take only two obvious reference points) unlike natural law theory and its Dworkinian variants, Manderson/Levinas does not discover the principles that lie within the law and allow right answers to be produced. Unlike positivism, in its strong and weak forms, jurisprudence is not limited to identifying the marker that defines the law. Both positions would lose the sense in which a term like proximity inspires and leaves its traces through legal concepts. This might require a ‘social’ theory of law, but Manderson is not a sociologist. In the end, this book, and the voice that speaks within is that of a humanist. Not in the Kantian sense; Manderson’s humanism is a much looser intellectual optimism, a cosmopolitan eclecticism that celebrates the malleability of the law, and the way in which, even if individual attempts may result in failure, the judge, the lawyer and the jurisprude must respond to their own being as that which is summoned by others, even as its spirit remains ultimately remains resistant to the letters that shackle it to form.”
