A critical evaluation of Prof. Roberto Unger's legal theory

Abstract

There are two general parts to this paper. In the first part I wish to raise some questions relating to Prof. Unger's very general claim about the contingency of knowledge to formative empirical contexts. This part will be my attempt to place in perspective the specific points w.hich I wish to dispute with Prof. Unger. In the second p.art I wish to deal with the balance where I agree with him almost completely. The parts where I beg to differ with Prof. Unger do not prevent me from accepting his call forprogrammatic argument, and yet attend upon those parts of his programmatic argument theory which I accept, in a way to modify it from an epistemological point of view. The purpose of my disagreement is not so much the fact that I believe in the contrary, as it is to engage in exploration of an alternate point of view.
