Content:
This investigation of the dynamic intertwinement of law and morality argues that theoretical pluralism is better explained once law is accepted as an essentially ambiguous concept. The book develops a robust theory of law that increases our grasp on global legal pluralism and the dynamics of law and also emphasises the theory of legal interactionism. This helps us to understand apparent anomalies of modern law and does justice to the valuable core of truth in natural law and legal positivism.
