Person and Pluralism in European Private Law

Omtale

This book argues for a new understanding of law, viewed not as a single entity but rather a multi-faceted discipline grappling multiple complex questions. At the centre is the person, not the law, and how a person navigates their way through current society. By viewing law, particularly private law, as supporting the person, it allows for the development of common goods. These common goods can then be used to respond to the legal challenges faced when dealing with questions of privacy, sexual orientation and identity, consumer rights, and fundamental rights. A provocative re-assessment of our conception of the law.
