The main subject of this book is the rather fascinating link
between an acceptable concept of political whole and its legal and
moral implications. When we face this problem, we find that
widespread categories like 'happiness' and "friendship" are at the
same time necessary and dangerous, crucial and elusive. In order to
make the case against the so-called Legal Enforcement of Morals,
and to grasp the complex relationship between law and morality from
a liberal point of view, it is not enough to reject a pattern of
happiness, or of human flourishing, from which to draw normative
instructions for men and women - it must be recognized that
integration of individuals in the comprehensive groups, as well as
in the political whole itself, is not the only valuable option. The
fragile value of a relative lack of integration, a "right to
unhappiness", turns out to be, eventually, what makes the weak, but
decisive, moral primacy of liberal societies.
