Art, Aesthetics and International Justice

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Too often, international justice is simply presented, then resented, coldly as objective fact. Marina Aksenova wants something better. With this aim, she links international justice to perception, emotion, and experience. Her lens is that of aesthetics. An aesthetically sensitive justice is improved justice. Her powerful book is erudite, elegant, and engaging. It elevates readers. Aksenova has written an instant classic in connecting art to life, and justice to the human condition.'

- Mark Drumbl, Class of 1975 Alumni Professor, Director of Transnational Law Institute, Washington and Lee University.

'Marina Aksenova presents a vision of global justice which integrates and engages all of our senses by harnessing the powers of art and aesthetics. Her argument is both compelling and urgent. Embracing Aksenova's account is crucial for identifying meaningful responses to the wars, natural disasters, and inequalities of our time.'

- Valentin Jeutner, Associate Professor of Law, University of Lund, Sweden; Founder of the International Law Museum in Lund.

'Aksenova's path-breaking work redefines our understanding of international justice through a sophisticated exploration of aesthetic contemplation. Her transformative approach inspires as it lays the foundation for a more creative, inclusive, and humane approach to global justice. This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to see the world anew.'
