Pojanowski reviews Smith

My friend and colleauge Jeff Pojanowski (Notre Dame) has a review up at SSRN of Steve Smith's (excellent) Disenchantment of Secular Discourse.  Here is the abstract:

This review essay considers Stephen D. Smith’s most recent book, The Disenchantment of
Secular Discourse. Rather than focusing on the book’s argument about the
practices and pathologies of the public square, this essay uses Smith’s chapter
on scientific thought as a platform for exploring connections between
Disenchantment and Smith’s prior work in legal theory. The catalyst for these
reflections is Scandinavian legal realism. Considering these elements together
sheds light on both the limits and virtues of central ideas about legal
obligation and authority in contemporary jurisprudence. Such perspective points
to a broader argument that jurisprudential debates about methodology and
concepts may be as much about how we read the universe as they are about how we
understand law.

As Legal Theory-king Larry Solum would say, "highly recommended":
