Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date October 2009 Commodity form theory is a theory of jurisprudence advanced by the Soviet Union Soviet legal theorist Evgeny Pashukanis . The theory argues that the legal form is the parallel of the commodity form under capitalism capitalist society. All law is concerned with the process of the exchanging of commodities between subjects who act as the guardians of commodities and are created by law in order to enable the commodity production form of society to function. The theory can be explained as based on two premises, logical and historical. The logical premise Every legal relation proclaims Pashukanis, is a relation between subjects . Pashukanis conceptual account of law begins with the idea of a responsible agent what he calls the legal subject ... other aspects of law are based, and also the highest form of expression of the commodity owning subject. This is because it is the relations of contract that are crucial for commodity production society since the contract is the necessary legal expression of commodity owners ability to use their commodities ... this. The historical premise The commodity form of exchange historically precedes the legal system which emerges from it. But it is not merely that the commodity form produces the legal form it is that the commodity form exists prior to the legal form and that only with the full development of the commodity form is there the possibility of a fully developed abstract legal form at all. Fetishism Commodity form theory is related to Marx s theory of commodity fetishism . Marx argued that the commodity was a fetishized form because the formal equality that the commodity form postulated was only an apparent equality. The legal form is blind to substantive human differences, just as the commodity form is blind to substantive differences in use value. Ultimately, the legal form, just as the commodity ... as the universal political equivalent has a life of its own. DEFAULTSORT Commodity Form Theory Category ... more details
