Law
and Liberty:
Ethics
and Politics for the XXI Century
Program
The
relationship between law and human freedom is one of the most
important issues in ethical theory. If rules and norms are
just limits to the infinite possibilities of human action,
our existence cannot but be frustrated both by the dictates
of our conscience and by the necessary restrictions of life
in community. The debate between the so called “virtue ethics,”
on the one hand, and “natural law ethics,” on the other, has
recently raised much interest in this topic. Do rules really
limit human action and freedom? Is it possible to have authentic
individual development in a community governed by laws? Is
law conceptually opposed to happiness? Are there laws that
should be respected everywhere by everybody? These are some
of the questions that participants to the present conference
have been asked to address.
The
sessions of the conference will take place at the Barcelona
campus of the Universitat Internacional
de Catalunya. A special session will take place at the IESE
Business School.
