Written by one of the foremost Italian philosophers of the 20th century, Emanuele Severino's Law and Chance (Legge e Caso) explores how the concept of laws and legality push against the freedom to think freely and radically. Severino is increasingly being recognised as a truly foundational thinker in the formation of contemporary theory and his nuanced concept of legality explored in this work has particular relevance for issues around protest, police power and the role of personal conscience in how to live.The first English translation of this important work, Law and Chance is crucial reading for anyone engaged with the intersection between the law and personal freedom.
