Law and the Relational Self Law in Context Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Herring Jonathan
Describes the concept of the relational self and its potential significance to the law.
This book promotes a relational understanding of the self. It explores how law can be transformed by focusing on the promotion and protection of caring relationships, rather than individual rights. This offers a radical and profound re-imagining of what law is about and what it should be trying to do. It moves from the theoretical into offering practical examples of how the law could be developed to enhance relationships, rather than undermine them.
