Abstract	It should therefore be borne in mind throughout that a norm, or a law, is never something simply ‘within’ a closed system: . . . the refusal to accept the closed terrains of conventional legal thought is an anti-conservative step which hopefully, in the right contexts, can open the domain of law to presently unthinkable possibilities. One such possibility, for instance is the acceptance of multiplicity in social organisation rather than the simple division of social categories into the same and different. . . . In fact, another theme of this book is the idea of law as property . . . Like law, property is a mechanism of exclusion . . . The discipline thereby established has very clear frontiers in which can be observed the connection between legitimacy and property. 3
