EU-E-Law, Lao Tzu and Law Teachers in the CT Age

Abstract

This article argues that it is useful sometimes to look at philosophies and perspectives which are not the orthodox nor dominant ones (especially with a conservative legal academy), to assist in the development of a robust base on which constructs of law may be founded in an interdependent world. In particular it argues that the philosophical dimensions of Taoism, as supposedly articulated by Lao-Tzu in the ancient and celebrated text The Tao Te Ching may be used to help explain the interplay of forces which is informing the development of E-law in the EU (or EU -E-Law).
