Matthew H. Kramer

Where Law and Morality Meet

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The question of how moral and legal reasoning interact has been a central focus in modern legal philosophy. Matthew Kramer here analyses the diverse ways in which moral principles enter legal systems, and presents a staunch defence of the 'separability' thesis - that law is not inherently moral in its effects or motivational underpinnings.
