Law and Morality: An Apparent Contradiction
Law and Morality: An Apparent Contradiction

Summary/Abstract: The issue of the connection between law and morality has been a constant concern of philosophers and jurists. The theories that develop this theme vary from a direction in which law is identified with morality, to the point where the law is being denied any influence of the morality.
