Life-Coherent Jurisprudence
Legal Drift, Life-Harm, and the Repair of LawBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length9h 22m
About this audiobook
Life-Coherent Jurisprudence asks a foundational question: what makes law worthy of life?
Dr. Bichara Sahely explores how legal systems can drift from serving living beings, communities, ecosystems, and future generations into protecting money, property, contract, debt, sovereignty, corporations, procedure, and growth as if they were ultimate. Drawing on Humberto Maturana, Johan Galtung, and John McMurtry, this audiobook reframes law as a living field of conserved coordination: capable of blindness, but also capable of learning.
Rather than beginning with blame, it offers a reparative path: seeing legal drift, naming life-harm, recognizing every affected other as legitimate, and restoring law to the service of life.
A philosophical, ecological, and practical invitation to reimagine legality as shared repair.
