The essay deals with Gilles Deleuze's view of the law as a comic phenomenon, expressed in his 1967 introduction to Von Sacher Masoch's Venus in Furs. The essay critically examines Deleuze's reconstruction of some classical (Plato) and modern (Kant) philosophies of law, as well as his view of Sade's works as depictions of a world without law. Finally, the essay disagrees with Deleuze's idea that the comic nature of the law should be the outcome of its will to "suspend the world", pointing out that the law pursues wordly tasks, by its own nature.
