A New Introduction to Jurisprudence : Legality, Legitimacy and the Foundations of the Law

Taylor & Francis Ltd

A New Introduction to Jurisprudence takes one of the central problems of law and jurisprudence as its point of departure: what is the law? Adopting an intermediate position between legal positivism and natural law, this book reflects on the concept of \u2018liberal democracy\u2019 or \u2018constitutional democracy\u2019.\nIn five chapters the book analyses: (i) the idea of higher law, (ii) liberal democracy as a legitimate model for the state, (iii) the separation of church and state or secularism as essential for the democratic state, (iv) the universality of higher law principles, (v) the history of modern political thought.\nThis interdisciplinary approach to jurisprudence is relevant for legal scholars, philosophers, political theorists, public intellectuals, historians, and politicians.\n\nA New Introduction to Jurisprudence\nLegality, Legitimacy and the Foundations of the Law\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal M;
