Skrócony opis: |
The goal of the course is to acquaint students with the key issues and controversies of contemporary legal and political philosophy. The perspective from (or the context in) which the issues will be presented will be that of principal legal values, i.e., values which law should realize/defend/respect/promote. The introductory lecture will provide an overview of the main theories of values (subjectivist vs. objectivist, monistic vs. pluralistic). The remaining lectures will offer a discussion of the content, philosophical underpinnings, and mutual relationships of specific legal values, such as justice, freedom, economic efficiency, tolerance, solidarity, peace, or trust. The perspective assumed in the course (that of legal values), will not only provide an opportunity for a thorough analysis of these values themselves, but will also enable a non-standard presentation of classical controversies in legal and political philosophy (e.g., law of nature vs. legal positivism; paternalism vs. autonomy; social liberalism vs. libertarianism). A separate lecture will be devoted to the possible conflicts between conscience and the law. The last lecture will deal with the question of whether there is a progress in law, and, if there is such a progress, how it can be philosophically interpreted and what concrete progressive tendencies can be discerned in the historical development of law. |
