The New Oxford Companion to Law
... legal theories Theories about law from a Marxist perspective have evolved in line with developments in Marxism as a whole.

Because of this, we call it “the third theory” in the sense that we have here a third thing which may be the first, in fact, is the first, and also the last.

...to us that the science which Islam encourages one to seek is essentially religious and legal science and what is associated with it, and not physics and chemistry, for example. The intellect which Islam encourages man to use seeks knowledge of God by meditating on what he has created as did Hayy ibn Yaqzān in the story of Ibn Tufayl. The aim is not the formation of the dialectical theory of matter or the theory of Durkheim on religious customs and worship, or a theory of a convex universe. Islam is not at fault for that. At that time religious sciences were...

...as a transgression against God and His representatives. According to the foregoing account, religious governments, not unlike Marxist states, cannot tolerate the freedom of ideas and criticism. Free expression and assembly, as well as strikes or demonstrations would be unthinkable; and the ruling party's judgment and execution would be swift and categorical.
