Morality & Law
[ send me this paper ]
Reconciling personal morality with the letter of the law in issues of criminality often comes into play when considering legal ordinances and their constitutionality. More often then not, though, the moral arguments are more compelling and often mark the perceptions of the populous. This 6 page paper provides an overview of a legal issue regarding the societal perspectives on morality and the application of an 'anti-smut' ordinance designed to prevent the pursuit of certain religious beliefs and the display of a pertinent statue in a small community. This paper considers both sides of the issue and then relates the most compelling legal (not constitutional) arguments as they are related through the theories of John Stuart Mill, Lord Patrick Devlin, and Graham Hughes. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Augustinian Laws And Women
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The philosophy in question is that of Augustinianism, the theory of Christian Idealism, which is based upon the theology of Augustine of Hippo (354-430) who is considered to be the greatest theologian of the early church. His theory is that of reality, absolute theism. Reality is God, who is Being. Being is good; non-Being is evil. He wrote that God has personality and gives reality to phenomena. As the Supreme Person, God exercises perfect will by which the world is created from nothing. The writer discusses how there were significant patriarchal underpinnings when it came to the treatment of women under Roman law, which effectively forced the female gender into a life of prostitution.
