- Artefacts of Legal Inquiry is a book of almost 500 pages, and the first monograph to offer a comprehensive argument as to the value of imagination and artefactual language in legal reasoning. Given the paucity of literature on law and imagination, the book required original research, over a period of six (6) years, into many different disciplines (philosophy of mind, second generation cognitive science, literary theory and history, and legal theory). The book develops a new model of imagination and applies it to four extensively researched case studies of complex devices: fictions, metaphors, figures and scenarios.
