"This book's essays seek to cleanse comparative law of some of the epistemic detritus it has been collecting and that has been cluttering its theory and practice to the point where this flotsam has effectively stultified 'good' comparison. While a critique would pursue adjustments to the prevailing model, this text's negative critique seeks a much more radical refurbishment as it utters an emphatic 'no' to the governing epistemology: it pursues, in effect, a deposition and a disposition of the leading epistemic configuration and the various assumptions regarding the acquisition of knowledge about foreign law that inform it. Negative comparative law thus operates at a primordial level inasmuch as it concerns the matter of justice: it aims to do justice to foreign law as foreignness finds itself appropriated and travestied by comparatists for ideological purposes. In the process, negative critique purports significantly to enhance comparative law's institutional, intellectual, and ethical respectability"--

The Sense and Nonsense of a Reformist Codification of European Law.
The codification of European private law does not appear necessary. In fact, the internal common market, in line with the examples of America and Canada, may benefit from the existence of different systems of private law. The allure of codification mirrors the desire of lawyers schooled in the Roman tradition. Therein lies a serious risk of exclusion, given that in Europe different traditions exist (principally that of the common law) which, by their very nature, find codification an alien concept. Consequently, it is appropriate to follow a middle course towards the integration of laws within Europe, reconciling different traditions.
