Justice and the Slaughter Bench by Alan Norrie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In this follow-up to Law and the Beautiful Soul, Alan Norrie addresses the split between legal and ethical judgment. Shaped by history, law s formalism both eschews and requires ethics. The first essays consider legal form in its practical aspect, and the ethical problems encountered ( law s architectonic ). The later essays look at the complex underlying relation between law and ethics ( law s constellation ). In Hegel s philosophy, legal and ethical judgment are brought together in a rational totality. Here, the synthesis remains unachieved, the dialectic systematically broken . These essays cover such issues as criminal law s general part , homicide reform, self-defence, euthanasia, and war guilt. They interrogate legal problems, consider law s method, and its place in the social whole. The analysis of law s historicity, its formalism and its relation to ethics contributes importantly to central questions in law, legal theory and criminal justice.
