Law & Morality

Does morality influence the wording of the law? And does the law change our morality? In recent years, the relationship between law and morality has been widely discussed. The anthology provides a pertinent introduction to the field of tension between law and morality and is very much an interdisciplinary piece of work, which covers different subjects such as legal philosophy, sociology of law, legal history, and political and religious science, and criminology. Individual subjects are discussed in theory and with a view to practical application. The contributors mainly represent the Scandinavian countries. They are all experts in their individual fields, and for the first time their research is available in an anthology written in English for a large audience.
