In this erudite and compelling book, he takes up the thorniest problems of today's Europe, including the enlargement of the European Union and post-communist constitution-making in Central Europe, and analyses them against the theory of symbolic communication through law. A bold, ambitious, relentlessly intelligent work.' Wojciech Sadurski, Professor in the Department of Law; European University Institute in Florence. 'JirA PribA!n's rich and sophisticated discussion thoughtfully explores law's complex interactions with morality and politics, and the crucial significance of constitutions in linking legal, moral and political systems. Not least, he highlights major implications for European politics today of the legal and constitutional realities he identifies.' Roger Cotterrell, Anniversary Professor of Legal Theory Queen Mary, University of London 'PribA!n manages to put together a timely exposition of the connection between law, politics and morality, both abstractly and in the context of post-communist Central Europe, through a convincing reworking of his previous theses and and expansion in the direction of a firmer understanding of temporality.' International Journal for the Semiotics of Law Author InformationJirà Pribán is Professor of Law at Cardiff University Law School, UK. He has published extensively in the areas of sociology of law, legal philosophy, constitutional and European comparative law, and theory of human rights.
