The book breaks down the boundaries between art and science by presenting the materialistic critique of law in the tradition of Karl Marx partly in the form of a modern tragedy. The dramatic text about the plight of Soviet legal theorist Evgeny B. Pashukanis is complemented by further reflections on the role that the critique of law plays in modern society. Together, play and reflections form a new way of scientific-artistic presentation, actualizing Brecht's epic theatre in the 21st century.
