Conflict in Moral Philosophy Political

Many people submit to the law simply because they believe that the institutions administering it are just. But what if a law itself is unjust? The duty to obey law presupposes that laws are both consistent and just; because they sometimes aren't, appeals to a higher political morality become necessary if justice is to be served. Justifying Judgment reconsiders the relationship between legal and political philosophy, showing that the former is incomplete without the latter. Taking the writings of Alan Gewirth as a point of departure, Vincent Samar demonstrates the inherent incompleteness of conventional theories of law. He reviews the current state of legal and political theory and advances a metatheory for law that would enable judges to decide difficult cases by drawing upon the best available theory of politics appropriate to the case's level of abstraction. Samar challenges the current wisdom that social morality can resolve every legal conflict by questioning the very principle of our submission to law. He re-examines some difficult cases from American history -- Dred Scott, Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Romer v. Evans -- in order to demonstrate the difficulties inherent in the law and to show that no single theory of law will always preserve the balance between individual and collective justice. Every day, judges face difficult cases for which the law provides no firm precedents, or is even contradictory. Samar's work seeks to put justice back into law by encouraging law schools to train future judges to make decisions not by an internal analysis of the legal materials but by an appeal to the best ethical theory of politics so that they can face the intellectualchallenges involved in both clarifying concepts and justifying rights. By challenging conventional views of the law, it shows that our legal system might become more just rather than be merely procedurally correct.

Moral equivalence - Moral equivalence is a term used in political debate, usually to negatively characterize the humanist claim that 'there can be no moral or ethical hierarchy decided between two sides in a conflict, nor in the actions or tactics of the two sides.' The term has some limited currency in polemic debates about the Cold War, and more currently, the Israel-Palestine conflict.

African philosophy - African philosophy is a disputed term, used in different ways by different philosophers. Although African philosophers spend their time doing work in many different areas, such as metaphysics, epistemology, moral philosophy, and political philosophy, a great deal of the literature is taken up with a debate concerning the nature of African philosophy itself.

Elements of the Philosophy of Right - Hegel's Elements of the Philosophy of Right (Grundlinien der Philosophie des Rechts) was published in 1820, though the book's original title page dates it to 1821. This work is Hegel's most mature statement of his legal, moral, social and political philosophy and is an expansion upon concepts only briefly dealt with in the Encyclopedia of Philosophical Sciences, published in 1817 (and again in 1827 and 1830).
