In South Africa, in particular, his work has been fiercely debated in the context of one of the world?s most progressive constitutions. Despite Dworkin?s discomfort with that document?s enshrinement of ?socioeconomic rights,? his work enables an important defense of a jurisprudence premised on justice, rather than on legitimacy. Beginning with a critical overview of Dworkin?s work culminating in his two principles of dignity, Cornell and Friedman turn to Kant and Hegel for an approach better able to ground the principles of dignity Dworkin advocates. Framed thus, Dworkin?s challenge to legal positivism enables a theory of constitutional revolution in which existing legal structures are transformatively revalued according to ethical mandates. By founding law on dignity, Dworkin begins to articulate an ethical jurisprudence responsive to the lived experience of injustice. This book, then, articulates a revolutionary constitutionalism crucial to the struggle for decolonization. 410 0$aJust Ideas (FUP) 606 $aConstitutional law$xSouth Africa 606 $aConstitutional law$zSouth Africa 606 $aDignity 606 $aSocial justice$xSouth Africa 606 $aSocial justice$zSouth Africa 610 $aRevolution. 610 $aRonald Dworkin. 610 $aSouth Africa. 610 $aconstitutionalism. 610 $acritical idealism. 610 $ajurisprudence. 615 0$aConstitutional law$xSouth Africa. 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aDignity. 615 0$aSocial justice$xSouth Africa. 615 0$aSocial justice 676 $a342.001 700 $aCornell$b Drucilla$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0162088 702 $aFriedman$b Nick$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814961903321 996 $aThe Mandate of Dignity$93974580 997 $aUNINA
