Publications on epistemic as well as normative topics in legal theory, inspired by authors from both the analytical and the phenomenological tradition in philosophy. Co-edited Just Memories.

Reflexivity and Reconciliation. A Retrospect and a Prospect

Abstract: My book Socratic Voices. Dialogues on Law, Time, and Reconciliation (2023) requires some clarification, with regard to its pedigree as well as its contents. I will concentrate on what may be my own voice among the many voices resonating in the book. I will link this voice up to the Reflexive Polity Thesis, explained and defended in Law in the First Person Plural. Roots. Concepts, Topics (2020), looking ahead to the overall theme of the series of workshop on ‘political reflexivity’. For future discussion I propose making a distinction between (plural) self-reference and (plural) self-implication as two modes of reflexivity.
