Reading Hart through Pashukanis - Re-sketching the Contours of a (Forgotten) Critical-Marxist Jurisprudence Author(s): Anshuman Singh |
The proposed research seeks to bring to light a few of these mute presuppositions, and use them as pivots to re-actualise the work of the Soviet legal theorist E. Pashukanis. His main text - The General Theory of Law and Marxism offered powerful new insights into what “law” really is and how it can be understood. Unfortunately, even though Pashukanis was recognised as one of the foremost legal theoreticians of his time, very few mainstream thinkers took his work seriously, and even fewer actually replied to it [the most notable exceptions being Kelsen’s The Communist Theory of Law, and Bodenheimer’s The Impasse of Soviet Legal Philosophy - both of which I later respond to]. But such debates [between legal philosophers belonging to opposed ideological camps] unfortunately were not many.
Predloženo istraživanje ima za cilj da iznese na videlo neke od ovih nemih pretpostavki i iskoristi ih kao stožer za reaktuelizaciju rada sovjetskog pravnog teoretičara E. Pašukanisa. Njegov glavni tekst - Opšta teorija prava i marksizam ponudio je moćne nove uvide u to šta je "zakon" zaista i kako se može razumeti. Nažalost, iako je Pašukanis bio priznat kao jedan od najistaknutijih pravnih teoretičara svog vremena, vrlo malo mejnstrim mislilaca je ozbiljno shvatilo njegov rad, a još manje ih je zaista odgovorilo na njega (najznačajniji izuzeci su Kelsenova Komunistička teorija prava1 i Bodenhajmerova Zastoj Sovjetska pravna filozofija - na obe kasnije odgovaram]. Ali takvih debata [između pravnih filozofa koji pripadaju suprotstavljenim ideološkim taborima], nažalost, nije bilo mnogo.
