Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren. Equity in Law and Literature. Edited by Daniela Carpi. 24 essays discuss equity as a legal, ethical and linguistic concept from the perspective of (early) modern English literature, while also taking into account ideas from antiquity. The essays suggest that equity, given its normative and at the same time deconstructive nature, somewhat eludes rational argumentation and beckons beyond the sphere of reality. - This volume complements previous research from "The Concept of Equity: A Diachronical Assessment" (2007). Its 24 essays demonstrate how lively and active the debate on equity has been and how difficult it is to find a concluding word on this topic. In literature a new idea concerning equity is slowly being shaped. The discourse offered by literature is of an alternative kind; we are reminded of the utopian function of equity in Plato's Republic, where it aims at transcending reality and the mimetic description of it. There is something mysterious about equity: we cannot grasp it easily in terms of rational argumentation. It is all about norm and its inversion; at the same time it is deconstructive. Thus sometimes equity appears to be beyond the sphere of reality and takes us into a mysterious and incomprehensible world.
