内容説明
This excellent book is about Western morality as it interacts with law. The authors examine the history and great diversity of Western thought, the substance of moral ideas, ranging from the ancients to the new old order of the New World. Hazard and Pinto see the various voices articulating moral, political and legal thought as "pregnant with future relevance" for practical decision-making.
