Law as Psychic Ontology: Prohibition, Fantasy, and the Affective Life of Authority

Vered Ben David

June 2026: 30–42 DOI: 10.55121/prr.v3i2.1259

368 (Abstract) 203 (Download) PDF

This paper argues that law operates not only as an institutional or political order, but also as a psychic formation embedded within affect, desire, and recognition. The endurance of legal authority cannot be explained solely through coercion, consent, or procedural legitimacy. It also depends on how legality becomes internalized within psychic life and woven into attachments to order, belonging, ... more

Contemporary discourses on inclusive and just development emphasise ambitions of empowerment and capacity-building without producing genuine socio-economic transformation. This article develops the concept of the Economy of Silence to explain why the smallest and most constrained actors are often those who generate social change most effectively in comparison with institutions that are dominant at... more

This philosophical reflection stems from the conduct of a triangulated empirical practical socio-theological doctoral exploration of the Republic of Ireland’s post-Catholic religious landscape and spiritual marketplace as perceived by random samples of young people (n=178; N=22). Contextualised within the broad discourse of religious decline and growth of spirituality in tandem with some secularis... more
