L. A. Hart, and Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde each addressed the question of the end of law, its function, and its normative foundation within the context of the modern legal and political order. Through a politico-theological reading, it highlights the tension between legal validity and moral legitimacy, as well as the extent to which law can maintain public order without compromising its own claim to justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of Radbruch, Hart, and Böckenförde sheds light on how valid law can become unjust, demanding actions that may conflict with individual judgment or morality. It raises questions about natural law, the relationship between morality and law, and law's ultimate purpose, suggesting that law and politics represent, at best, a relative good. It addresses the broader crisis of legal authority and state sovereignty, the expanding reach of state power, and whether law should instruct, command, or ultimately point beyond itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End of Law\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is of interest to scholars in legal theory, political theology, and the philosophy of law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) 4.0 license\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mårten Björk,Tormod Johansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032266252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032266251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Mårten Björk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48175726854399,"sku":"9781032266251","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddb79542-7914-4de9-b569-2caca79ada38.jpg?v=1771335529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-end-of-law-mzorten-bjzirk-9781032266251","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
