The central focus of this collection of essays is the role and
place of freedom of religion in the protection and promotion of
world order. The volume offers competing models of world order from
a global perspective and highlights the lack of consensus and
considerable variety of practice and belief around the globe as to
the definition of religious freedom and where and whether freedom
of religion is regarded as the first freedom in the world. The
leading theories of freedom of religion are discussed and provide
an understanding of freedom of religion beyond the nation state.
The liberal view at the global level is also examined and
observations are included regarding the need to rethink secularism
in the light of present circumstances and within the global
context.
The return of religion to the public sphere raises various
dilemmas. Rights and values, pluralism and identity, justice and
efficacy, autonomy and tradition, and integration and toleration
cannot always be balanced without the loss of something valuable.
This volume of essays tackles such dilemmas from two perspectives.
To begin, major contemporary theorists rethink the place of
religion in the public sphere from republican, liberal and
critical-theoretical viewpoints. Contributors then bring together
theory and practice to better conceptualize and assess the latest
developments in European jurisprudence with respect to religion.
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.
