Focusing on Jürgen Habermas' theories, the book examines the interplay between law, rights, and democracy against the backdrop of modern critiques stemming from Hegel and Marx. It highlights the dual nature of law as both a facilitator of emancipation and a tool of domination, emphasizing the importance of understanding this dialectic. Aimed at students and scholars in political theory, law, and sociology, the work engages with the complexities of autonomy and the limitations of rights in contemporary discourse.
