Description
De bijdragen in dit Engelstalige werk verkennen de relatie tussen recht en moraliteit vanuit verschillende perspectieven. De auteurs analyseren specifieke kwesties op het gebied van vrijheid van meningsuiting, vrijheid van godsdienst, constitutionalisme, de universaliteit van mensenrechten, dierenrechten, democratie en terrorisme. De rode draad is hun zoektocht naar een antwoord op de vraag wat waarden zoals rechtvaardigheid, eerlijkheid en respect voor mensenrechten kunnen betekenen. De focus op deze domeinen zorgt voor de maatschappelijke relevantie van de discussies. Tegelijkertijd zijn ze zo geschreven dat ze toegankelijk zijn voor niet-specialisten, terwijl ze de nodige diepgang bieden om recht te doen aan de complexiteit van de thema's. De onderzoeken zijn gericht op het bieden van inzicht in actuele debatten, waarvan de relevantie ook buiten de grenzen van die debatten reikt.
