Ziviler Ungehorsam'

Author: Max-Emanuel Geis

In: Hilgendorf, E. und J. Juergen, Handbuch Rechtsphilosophie, pp. 480-484

The terms civil disobedience, resistance and the right or duty to resist are well known elements of political rhetoric.  The use of these terms often combines various dimensions of interpretation, such as religious, moral and ethical ideas, or philosophical and political approaches too. This book therefore seeks to analyze the term 'civil disobedience' from the perspective of the philosophy of law.
