• Sommario/riassunto: A collection of essays examining the relationship between nature and law, the 'personal' and the 'political'. Some focus on the grey area of what is 'natural'; others on areas thought to be natural rather than socially shaped. A variety of disciplines, particularly philosophy, political science and law, contribute to the debate.
