Law is a "process". About Kafka's legal philosophy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Law is a "process". About Kafka's Philosophy of Law is an examination of the legal philosophical and theoretical content in Franz Kafka's Der Process and other works by Janko Ferk from 1999.

The author translates legal connotations from the stories into the language or terminology of basic legal theory and at the same time tries to do justice to the logic of the literary model. In the main part of the book, Ferk goes into the legal terms in the process and further narratives. He pays particular attention to the terms “ right ”, “ injustice ” and “ justice ” as well as “ jurisdiction ” and “ court ”. Ferk prepares a linguistic and legal analysis of Kafka's texts and devotes a separate chapter to the legal professions. The roles of judges and lawyers are particularly examined. The author also deals with the genesis of the process , its biographical and historical background and its impact.

The book has received several reviews, for example by Ralf Dreier in Neue Juristische Wochenschrift and Ritchie Robertson in Modern Language Review . It was published in Slovene in 2007 and in Croatian in 2010 and is a standard work of Kafka research.
