Description
The Epistemology of the Secret examines the fundamental tension between transparency and obscurity in international law. D’Aspremont argues that international legal systems function through selective revelation, where certain truths about law’s origins and operations remain deliberately hidden from public scrutiny.
This philosophical investigation into international law’s epistemic foundations challenges scholars to reconsider how legal authority is established and maintained on the global stage. By treating international law as a system of revelation, the author demonstrates how knowledge production in this field is inherently linked to questions of power, legitimacy, and institutional gatekeeping.
Through rigorous analysis, d’Aspremont exposes the hidden mechanisms that shape international legal discourse and decision-making processes, offering critical insights for legal theorists, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand the deeper structures governing global law.
