Published by Oxford University Press, this book provides a comprehensive philosophical and legal analysis of conscientious law-breaking. It examines the grey areas where the foundations of law and morality clash, offering deep insights into the difficult decisions individuals face when their moral beliefs contradict the penal code. This study presents two distinct perspectives to provide a complete view of these legal dilemmas. It analyzes the position of the individual deciding whether to obey the law based on moral reasons, as well as the perspective of lawmakers and authorities who must determine how to treat those acting on moral convictions.
