The author seeks to present a multidisciplinary conception of jurisprudence, analyzing the coevolution between legal phenomena, their self-descriptions and the dissemination media of communication, from oral cultures to computer networks. The paper posits Vesting’s contribution in the modern path of German jurisprudence and philosophy of law.
