Alain Supiot Quotes

Law Is Neither A Divine Revelation Nor A Scientific Discovery. It Is A Wholly Human Creation That Includes The Contribution Of Those Who Claim To Study It And Who Cannot Remain Blind To The Values Implied By Their Interpretations. Every Society Must Develop A Vision Of Justice That Is Shared By All Its Members, In Order To Avoid Civil War, And This Is What The Legal Framework Provides. Whereas Conceptions Of Justice Differ From Epoch To Epoch And From Country To Country, The Need For A Shared Representation Of Justice In A Particular Country And At A Particular Time Does Not. The Legal System Is Where This Representation Takes Shape And, Although It May Well Be Contradicted By The Facts, It Gives Shared Meaning And A Common Orientation To People's Actions.
