{"product_id":"pope-benedict-xvis-legal-thought-marta-cartabia-9781107090200","title":"Pope Benedict XVI's Legal Thought","description":"Throughout Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's pontificate he spoke to a range of political, civil, academic, and other cultural authorities. The speeches he delivered in these contexts reveal a striking sensitivity to the fundamental problems of law, justice, and democracy. He often presented a call for Christians to address issues of public ethics such as life, death, and family from what they have in common with other fellow citizens: reason. This book discusses the speeches in which the Pope Emeritus reflected most explicitly on this issue, along with the commentary from a number of distinguished legal scholars. It responds to Benedict's invitation to engage in public discussion on the limits of positivist reason in the domain of law from his address to the Bundestag. Although the topics of each address vary, they nevertheless are joined by a series of core ideas whereby Benedict sketches, unpacks, and develops an organic and coherent way to formulate a \"public teaching\" on the topic of justice and law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marta Cartabia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107090202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107090200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Marta Cartabia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46199066558719,"sku":"9781107090200","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1b0e9bd-0944-4574-961d-6e0b0ebbc819.jpg?v=1727924935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pope-benedict-xvis-legal-thought-marta-cartabia-9781107090200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
