Logosz, írás, képek és jog − Peter Goodrich „Grammatológia”-értelmezése

Abstract

This study analyzes Jacques Derrida's critique of logocentrism and the work of English legal philosopher Peter Goodrich, specifically examining the increasing visual manifestation of law in the modern era. It focuses on the speech-writing dichotomy and how the "end of the book" transforms our understanding of law. According to Goodrich, the presentation of law is fundamentally changing, with its visual experience becoming more prominent, signaling the end of a previous book-based legal culture. The article explores how Derrida's ideas can enrich legal theory and whether visually represented law, conveyed through media, creates new interpretative challenges for legal professionals. It introduces Régis Debray's three-sphere division (logosphere, graphosphere, videosphere) and emphasizes that the history of writing is also a history of the circulation and dissemination of power.
