All civilised societies share a common desire for internal order
and security. For this reason, among others, moral codes and legal
structures are developed to give form to social belief systems, to
regulate interpersonal relations, and to promulgate ideals of
appropriate behaviour. But what should society or individuals do
when the compelling dictates of personal conscience conflict
strongly with statutory law? Can the morality of some be visited
upon the rest of society by giving it the authority and power of
law? Are there principles that go beyond legal jurisdiction to
justify acts of civil disobedience? Is it right to violate the laws
of society when they are opposed to personal moral convictions? Few
questions have had a more compelling effect on the history and
future of the human community. For this reason, the editors have
brought together a fascinating collection of essays by some of the
most astute minds in law and philosophy to grapple with the tough
issues facing Morality and the Law.
