In this moment of social division, polarization, poverty, climate change, and pandemics, it is crucial to understand the roles of those who manage, control, or are touched by the rule of law.
This book contains essays by 32 authors from across the globe that address racism, misinformation, human rights, the status of women, the treatment of indigenous peoples, the environment, and more.
Sponsored by the Italian Academy and commissioned and edited by Barbara Faedda (the Academy's Executive Director) this volume includes writing from David Freedberg (the Academy's Director) on images, law, and the criminal body in the 16th century. Among the other contributors are several former Academy Fellows, panelists from public events at the Academy, and experts in many fields. The full Table of Contents is here below.
This book is part of the Academy's project on Law and Its Manifestations, which supports research, seminars, and publications to look at law and its images, and at the relationship between law and nature in theory, philosophy, history, and religious thought.
