Does law conceal power relations or express formal rules? How does the production of scientific objectivity differ from the establishment of a legal fact? How is the seamless fabric of social ties woven with the help of legal fiction? In a pioneering study, anthropologist and sociologist Bruno Latour analyzes the functioning of the French State Council, which is part of the complex machine of checks and balances built by Napoleon Bonaparte. Observing the activities of the State Council allows us to understand the very essence of the structure of the French Republic and law in general.

Law interests Latour not as an ideological or formal-logical construct, but as a universal connecting principle necessary for the state. The State Council, with its collective memory and obligatory reference to an original precedent, in a sense preserves for history the disparate voices of the past, taking into account which society expands its borders.
