| Sammanfattning: | <p><i>Law, Order and Freedom</i> gives an account of the history of Western legal and political philosophy, starting with the pre-Socratics and ending with Rawls. It examines in detail the development of the Enlightenment values of freedom and equality, the foremost principles of many present-day constitutions. The underlying ideal of individual autonomy, characteristic of modern times, has nevertheless been contested throughout its history. Against the background of this historical development, <i>Law, Order and Freedom</i> enquires further whether the modern Enlightenment values can serve as a foundation for law and society in the modern era where a great diversity of worldviews exists.</p><p><i> Law, Order and Freedom</i> will be an invaluable resource for those with an interest in legal and political philosophy.</p> |
