Subject: heidegger/pomoism and law


I'm adressing you specifically b/c i see you post quite often and i was
curious if you could give me your oppinion on a certain subject.  Its always
baffled me whether or not law and government is exclusive to a postmodern
world. I really don't think it is, being that postmodernism in its purest
ideology is only a break from Enlightenment thinking (modernism), and law
has existed pre-modernism. (however in very different ways)

Additionally, it seems that the New Left takes much from postmodernism,
however, do you see any grounds (and in what philosophers) for the Right to
take from continental philosophy?

thanks for your time

"Prohibition is an awful flop.
We like it.
It can't stop what it's meant to stop.
We like it.
It's left a trail of graft and slime,
It don't prohibit worth a dime,
It's filled our land with vice and crime.
Nevertheless, we're for it."

		-Franklin P. Adams (1931)
