Description

Explore the fundamental tension between legal and ethical judgment in Alan Norrie's penetrating follow-up to Law and the Beautiful Soul. This collection of essays examines how law's formalism simultaneously rejects and depends upon ethical reasoning, creating an unresolved philosophical conflict. Norrie traces law's architectonic dimension through practical legal problems before investigating the deeper constellation linking law and ethics. Drawing on Hegelian philosophy, the author demonstrates why the synthesis between legal and ethical judgment remains perpetually broken, challenging conventional assumptions about rational totality in jurisprudence. Essential reading for scholars, legal theorists, and philosophers grappling with the contradictions inherent in modern legal systems.

Key Features

Routledge publishes this scholarly examination of the dialectical split between legal formalism and ethical judgment in contemporary jurisprudence.

Follows Alan Norrie's previous work Law and the Beautiful Soul with deeper philosophical analysis of law's internal contradictions.

Essays progress from practical legal form and its ethical dilemmas to the complex theoretical relationship underpinning law and ethics.

Engages Hegelian philosophy to explain why legal and ethical synthesis remains systematically unachieved in rational frameworks.

Addresses the architectonic and constellation dimensions of law, offering scholars fresh perspectives on jurisprudential theory.
