Abstract
This articles proposes to introduce the distinction between “the singular” and the “specific” into contemporary legal theory, in order to better our responses to the question concerning the kind of “unity in diversity” that the liberal modern project wishes to establish in the political-legal space, and the destiny of such a unity, the nation-state vis á vis proceses of globalization, as the unity of analysis in the legal sciences. Furthermore, this argument works also as a critique of the transcendental illusion that operates in modern legal-political discourse, as a description of the ac- tual state of the question concerning law from the perspective of legal theory and an attempt to map the uncertain terrain of the legal science(s) to come.
