Jurisprudence – A South African Perspective

This book, aimed at students, examines the jurisprudential debate in South Africa in the light of the Constitution.

The authors explore how a wide variety of influential thinkers respond to questions on the relation between law, justice and morality and the functions of law within society, in order to bring students to a deeper understanding of the law and its workings. In the first part of the book certain Western Traditions are examined, the second part deals with Twentieth Century Debates and the third part looks at developments that challenge the established canon, including African and feminist jurisprudence.
