Dette retsfilosofiske storværk er bygget op omkring en række historiske og teoretiske kapitler, der trækker en linje fra antikken, middelalderen og oplysningstiden over bl.a. retspositivismen i første halvdel af det 20. århundrede, den amerikanske pragmatisme og til nyere teorier i europæisk og amerikansk retsfilosofi. Desuden sættes der fokus på centrale temaer som feminisme, retfærdighedsfølelse og retsøkonomi. Bogens kapitler er ledsaget af uddrag fra nogle af de største retsfilosofiske værker igennem tiden. Kapitlerne er skrevet af førende forskere og eksperter på tværs af de danske retsfilosofiske miljøer. I denne anden udgave er der tilføjet fem nye kapitler om hhv. dansk retsfilosofi i det 20. århundrede, forholdet mellem retsfilosofi og juridisk metodelære, straf og tvangsfuldbyrdelse, ret og demokrati samt ret og globalisering. Foruden disse nye kapitler er en række kapitler blevet opdateret. De væsentligste ændringer er, at: · de to kapitler om retsrealisme er samlet i et helt nyt kapitel, der er opdateret med de seneste udviklinger inden for retsrealistisk teoridannelse · kapitlet om feministisk retsteori er skrevet om og omhandler nu primært Martha Nussbaum · der er skabt en bedre sammenhæng ved at trække linjer mellem klassisk og kristen naturret og rationalismens og oplysningstidens naturret (kapitel 2 og 3).

This book offers a systematic and comprehensive account of the key cases that have come to shape the jurisprudence on emergency law in the United States from the Civil War to the War on Terror. The legal questions raised in these cases concern fundamental constitutional issues such as the status of fundamental rights, the role of the court in times of war, and the question of how to interpret constitutional limitations to executive power. At stake in these difficult legal questions is the issue of how to conceive of the very status of law in liberal democratic states. The questions with which the Supreme Court justices have to grapple in these cases are therefore as philosophical as they are legal. In this book the Court's arguments are systematized according to categories informed by constitutional law as well as classic philosophical discussions of the problem of emergency. On this basis, the book singles out three legal paradigms for interpreting the problem of emergency: the rights model, the extra-legal model and the procedural model. This systematic approach helps the reader develop a philosophical and legal overview of central issues in the jurisprudence on emergency.
