Rewolucja Solidarności
Fascynująca historia jedynego okresu w całej historii Polski Ludowej, w której władza naprawdę musiała liczyć się z Narodem. Szesnaście miesięcy, które minęły od porozumień sierpniowych do wprowadzenia stanu wojennego, to najdziwniejszy czas w historii rządzonej przez komunistów Polski. Wtedy po raz pierwszy społeczeństwo mogło zadać pytania, które dziś – w różnych odmianach – nie schodzą z pierwszych stron gazet. Jaka ma być Polska? Jak wyjść z biedy? W jaki sposób zasypać rosnącą przepaść cywilizacyjną między nami a Zachodem? Wszystko to w atmosferze zagrożenia sowiecką interwencją oraz represjami ze strony „rodzimego” aparatu władzy. Andrzej Friszke – jeden z najwybitniejszych polskich historyków – przewodnikiem po tej zagmatwanej epoce czyni Jacka Kuronia. Jak sam pisze: „jest to zarazem biografia polityczna Jacka Kuronia, historia Solidarności, ale też historia polskiego kryzysu 1980–1981”. To kolejna, po nagradzanych Anatomii Buntu oraz Czasie KOR-u, niezwykle wnikliwa panorama najnowszych dziejów Polski.
On Law and Reason
'This is an outline of a coherence theory of law. Its basic ideas are: reasonable support and weighing of reasons. All the rest is commentary.’ These words at the beginning of the preface of this book perfectly indicate what On Law and Reason is about. It is a theory about the nature of the law which emphasises the role of reason in the law and which refuses to limit the role of reason to the application of deductive logic. In 1989, when the first edition of On Law and Reason appeared, this book was ground breaking for several reasons. It provided a rationalistic theory of the law in the language of analytic philosophy and based on a thorough understanding of the results, including technic...
The Practice of Punishment
Cragg combines the findings of contemporary studies, reports and papers focusing on crime, punishment and penal practice with philosophical argument and thereby constructs a radical theory of restorative justice.
Hans Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law
By showing how Kelsen's theory of law works alongside his political philosophy, the book shows the Pure Theory to be part of a wider attempt to understand how political power can be legitimately exercised in pluralist societies.
Overcriminalization
The United States today suffers from too much criminal law and too much punishment. Husak describes the phenomena in some detail and explores their relation, and why these trends produce massive injustice. His primary goal is to defend a set of constraints that limit the authority of states to enact and enforce penal offenses. The book urges the weight and relevance of this topic in the real world, and notes that most Anglo-American legal philosophers have neglected it. Husak's secondary goal is to situate this endeavor in criminal theory as traditionally construed. He argues that many of the resources to reduce the size and scope of the criminal law can be derived from within the criminal law itself-even though these resources have not been used explicitly for this purpose. Additional constraints emerge from a political view about the conditions under which important rights such as the right implicated by punishment-may be infringed. When conjoined, these constraints produce what Husak calls a minimalist theory of criminal liability. Husak applies these constraints to a handful of examples-most notably, to the justifiability of drug proscriptions.
