Enlightenment Symposium Book

Taking as its focal point Turkey, who is going through its own particular historical experience in creating and setting up a modern system of law, the symposium book aims to examine both the basic principles and institutions of modern law – arrived at through the contributions of Enlightenment philosophy – and the critiques they have drawn. Leading Turkish academics will consider critiques of the positive (or state) law component in modern law, the link between law and democratic legitimacy, and legal issues in Turkey, especially where freedom of opinion is concerned.
