摘要:The site of this text being a journal called No Foundations: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Law and Justice, the eleventh issue, a start might be made by asking what the insistence on No Foundations marks, and how the journal calling itself by that name has defined its project(s). No Foundations, the journal, was, for eight issues, from the first in 2005 until the eighth, identified as a Journal of Extreme Legal Positivism. The first editorial referred to a project on necessarily contingent law, and the first editor referred to the sociology, culture, politics and philosophy of positive law and the positivistic conception of law. Then, in 2012, the ninth issue, under new editors and a new editorial direction, replaced the subtitle describing the journal’s theoretical orientation with An Interdisciplinary Journal of Law and Justice, the first issue of the relaunched journal being concerned with Law’s Justice: A Law and Humanities Perspective; the second after the relaunch, issue 10, being concerned with Judging Democracy, Democratic Judgment. It is not a new journal, it still adheres to the commitment to No Foundations, it has a continuity beyond these shifts in emphasis; but, to a reader uninformed about how and why these developments have taken place, there is something curious here.
