Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for upper year university students enrolled in philosophy of law courses. Classic Readings and Canadian Cases in the Philosophy of Law is designed to increase student understanding of the role of law in society, as well as historical and philosophical debates surrounding major legal issues. Dimock strikes a balance between traditional philosophical subjects (i.e. the nature of law, morality, liberty) and practical issues of immediate interest to students (i.e. corporate pollution, sexual assault, hate crimes, pornography) by combining theoretical readings with current Canadian legal cases. The readings showcase experts in each subject area-- both classical and modern, Canadian and international. Pedagogical aids are found throughout the text and include a glossary of legal and philosophical terms, an appendix of relevant sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, lists of additional readings, and extensive study questions.
Download or read book Classic Readings and Cases in the Philosophy of Law written by Susan Dimock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 1398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over sixty cases as support, this text presents the philosophy of law as a perpetual series of debates with overlapping lines and cross connections. Using law as a focus to bring into relief many social and political issues of pressing importance in contemporary society, this book encourages readers to think critically and philosophically. Classic Readings and Cases in the Philosophy of Law centers on five major questions: What is law? What, if any, connection must there be between law and morality? When should law be used to restrict the liberty of individuals? To what extent should democratic states permit civil disobedience? What, if anything, justifies the infliction of punishment on those who violate the law? The extensive anthology of cases covers the mundane to the grandest of constitutional issues, including controversial topics like ownership of genetic material, capital punishment, and gay rights. Brief introductions to each case describe the central issue being litigated, the legal reasoning of the justices–both majority and dissenting–the decision of the court, and its philosophical significance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Institutes of Law: A Treatise of the Principles of Jurisprudence as Determined by Nature With this limited aim, then, the branch of science with the study of which we shall be here engaged, may be de scribed as having for its object the discovery of that law which, by the nature of all rational creatures, and independ ently of their volition, determines their relations to each other and to surrounding existences, in so far as this law is medi ately or immediately revealed to human reason and realizable by human will, under the conditions of human existence in time and space. The validity of the law of nature, it is true, is not, or at any rate cannot be conceived by us to be, limited to humanity, or to humanity under the conditions of time and space. Culverwell accordingly defines it as that law which is intrinsical and essential to a rational creature; 1 and Hegel.

Download or read book Reasonableness in Liberal Political Philosophy written by Shaun Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously published as a special issue of the Critical Review of Social and Political Philosophy, this collection offers a thought-provoking critique of the role of the concept of reasonableness in liberal political theory, focusing on the proposed relationship between reasonableness and the establishment and preservation of a just and stable liberal polity. The essays explore the explicit and implicit use of the idea of reasonableness, presenting an analysis that incorporates normative and empirical observations and employs a number of different analytical approaches, including liberalism, feminism, environmentalism, Marxism, and communitarianism. This unique book provides in a single volume a critique that engages not only a vast array of issues but also a diversity of critical perspectives. It not only rectifies a deficiency in the existing scholarship, but also addresses the issues of socio-political justice and stability, offering new, insightful critiques that respond to the increasingly complex circumstances and conflicts that confront life in contemporary pluralistic societies. Reasonableness in Liberal Political Philosophy will be a valuable resource for those interested in liberal political theory and its potential usefulness in helping to secure a just and stable polity.
