This article is a part of a research project entitled Law as Potency, that,
broadly put, investigates the relation between law and ontology. I argue,
starting from St. Paul, that an ontological perspective can be understood as
the possibility of justice, in a sense of a liberation of the human being.
Thus, this paper offers an analysis of the concepts of potency and
universality. Even though the term ‘universalism’ is not explicitly
mentioned, it is present in St. Paul’s thinking and brought onto its
practical consequences. In addition, Spinoza’s reading of St. Paul opens up
a possibility to challenge this concept to a concept of modern teleology.
Therefore, I discuss the consequences of this confrontation in regard to
law, politics and economics. This leads to an articulation of another
modernity, where, perhaps, the universal appears as the affirmation of
difference. |
