Juste vivre. Vers une théorie juridique éthique

Just Living. Towards an ethics-based legal theory

Gergely Deli(author)
Summary
This work addresses a neglected aspect of modern legal theory. It delves not so much into the positive or factual aspects of law, or its moral interpretation, as into its ethical concerns: how should people live their lives, and how does the law help them to lead a good life? The main message of the book is that every responsible person should strive to live a life of reason and value, following the ancient Roman ideal of life and the principle of honeste vivere. Using the methods of traditional legal theory, the author analyzes the most complex constitutional dilemmas and establishes the rudiments of a legal structure that can help citizens to lead a good life. The most original scientific result of this approach, which is centered on the individual, is that it transcends the dichotomy of positivism and natural law and proposes a third option. The work offers not only a theoretical framework, but also possibilities for its practical implementation.
