Debate about the separation of law and morality has ancient
roots and is still vigorously discussed today. Mostly, the
debate has been conducted as a technical problem in
jurisprudence or legal philosophy. As a technical, philosophical
problem, the arguments are rigorous and tend to be narrow. Creon's
Ghost enters the debate from a different angle by discussing
the general responses to the problem by pairing stories from the
humanities with various contemporary jurisprudential accounts.
For example, Chapter 1 pairs Antigone with H. L. A. Hart to
illuminate the legal positivist position on how law should be
considered separate and apart from morality. Antigone, from
which play is taken the text's principal interlocutor-Creon-
Tomain develops his themes through the history of the humanities,
all the while offering significant connections within the
realm of legal scholarship. The major "schools" of jurisprudence
are treated at some length-legal positivism, natural law theory,
legal realism, legal pragmatism, critical legal studies, et al.
The author also presents arguments on why and how law is and
should be connected with morality, presenting concepts from
Plato's Republic together with Ronald Dworkin to illustrate the
claim that law has and should have a moral unity. Creon's Ghost
demonstrates that the humanities can both illuminate our
understanding of legal discussions and that they can be read
alongside jurisprudential texts, thus enriching our
understanding of and appreciation for both the humanities and
the law.

Zucca, K. N. (Lorenzo), appointed Lecturer in Law.
Constitutional dilemmas [Text]: conflicts of
fundamental legal rights in europe and the USA / L. Zucca.
-Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008. -XVI, 188 p.; 23,5
x 16,2 cm.-Index: p. 179 - 188.
СОДЕРЖ.: Part 1. The Theory of Conflicts of Fundamental Legal
Rights -- Part 2. The Practice of Conflicts of Fundamental Legal
Rights.
This book deals with one of the most important issues of
philosophy of law and constitutional thought: how to understand
clashes of fundamental rights, such as the conflict between free
speech and privacy. The main argument of this book is that much
can be learned about the nature of fundamental legal rights by
examining them through the lens of conflicts among such rights,
and criticizing the views of scholars and jurists who have
discussed both fundamental legal rights and the nature of
conflicts among them. Theories of rights are necessarily
abstract, aiming at providing the best possible answers to
pressing social problems. Yet such theories must also respond to
the real and changing dilemmas of the day.Taking up the problem
of conflicting rights, Zucca seeks a theory of rights that can
guide us to a richer, more responsive approach to rights
discourse. The idea of constitutional rights is one of the most
powerful tools to advance justice in the Western tradition. But
as this book demonstrates, even the most ambitious theory of
rights cannot satisfactorily address questions of conflicting
rights. How, for instance, can we fully secure privacy when it
clashes with free speech? To what extent can our societies
assist people in dying without compromising the protection of
life? Exploring the limitations of the rights discourse in these
areas, Zucca questions the role of law in settling ethical
dilemmas helping to clarify thinking about the limitations of
rights discourse.
