A Comparative Study of Zizek's and Hegel's Ideas on Legal Offences
The question of the relationship between law and crime is a central issue that has been the focus of attention in the field of modem philosophy of law.Similarly,Kant,Hegel and Zizek have all paid great attention to the problem of the relationship between law and crime.Among them,the core of Hegel's idea of law and crime is the"law-crime opposition",i.e.,self-existing law is the essence,and lawlessness is the illusion of the essence;this idea is shown through the perspective of abstract law,with the interpretation of the three parts of"unpremeditated wrong,fraud,violence and crime".The core of Zizek's idea of law and crime is the"unity of law and crime",i.e.,the basis of law is that it declares itself to be a law,and the subject is guilty by virtue of its own existence;this idea is clarified through a psychoanalytic perspective.The two ideas of legal offence are both different and related,representing two different value orientations in the relationship between law and crime,each with its own corresponding limitations.
