Just as comparative anatomy gave us Darwin's concept of evolution and comparative linguistics Chomsky's generative grammar, so the comparative study of literature, philosophy, or popular culture might well be expected to generate the kind of paradigm-shifting knowledge and theory that could lift us beyond outmoded parochialisms. For surely an honest, open attempt to come to terms with a "foreign culture" requires belief as well, a leap sustained by the faith that on the other side of the divide we will find not absence and mystery and absolute foreignness, but rather a fresh improvisation on a faintly familiar theme, conveying all the richness and variety and fullness of human life played out in an unfamiliar key.
It is a term that has entered every imaginable scholarly discourse, from the expected territories of literary criticism, biblical scholarship, linguistics, and pastmodern philosophy, to more far flung fields such as architectural studies, economics, and the cognitive sciences. Yet we know from our hermeneutical vantage point that the foundational texts we revere and study would not have come to us without the textual cooperation and propagation provided by this lengthy era of scholars in between.
Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this Essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers’ and law professors’ preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.
Wettlaufer charts in its outline a particular type of grief. It relies upon the assumption that society is a formation designed and constructed to achieve power by elimination of difference. Post-modern philosophy following the groundwork of structuralist analysis of linguistics, genealogies of power, and the ruptures and hidden privileges of logocentrism unearthed by deconstruction, has examined this act of assertion of alterity as the socially necessary other who is sacrificed for the benefit of the same.
