Write a sparkling and intelligent essay about the question of whether morality and law are more than just (inter)subjective arbitrariness. (Schrijf een sprankelend en intelligent essay over de vraag of moraal en recht méér zijn dan slechts (inter)subjectieve willekeur.)
During this Law& Philosophy course we received literature from philosphers to read, I tried to upload all of it. You might find some on the internet too. I also have some links where the pdf’s can be found! I hope it works otherwise please let me know, it is necessary that we use these. Can you please refer to the literature below with the page number in footnotes.
