The Future Of Religious Pluralism: Justice O'Connor And The Establishment Clause, Deborah J. Merritt, Daniel C. Merritt
The Future Of Religious Pluralism: Justice O'Connor And The Establishment Clause, Deborah J. Merritt, Daniel C. Merritt
Deborah J Merritt
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor offered a distinctive vision of the Establishment Clause. This article puts that vision in context by reviewing the history of religious pluralism, tolerance, and intolerance in the United States.

These sections of the article offer essential background that many observers overlook when analyzing the Establishment Clause. Finally, the article argues that Justice O’Connor’s Establishment Clause principles offer the best promise of promoting religious pluralism more fully in the United States.

Many theorists, however, while acknowledging superficial differences among the various classical theories, fail to appreciate the variety and complexity of pre-modern thought. Unduly simplifying pre-modern understandings of law, they end …

Epinomia: Plato And The First Legal Theory, Eric Heinze
Prof. Eric Heinze, Queen Mary University of London
In comparison to Aristotle, Plato’s general understanding of law receives little attention in legal theory, due in part to ongoing perceptions of him as a mystic or a totalitarian. However, some of the critical or communitarian themes that have guided theorists since Aristotle already find strong expression in Plato’s work. More than any thinker until the 19th and 20th centuries, Plato rejects the rank individualism and self-interest which, in his view, emerge within democratic legal culture. He rejects schisms between legal norms and community values, institutional separation of law from morals, intricate regimes of legislation and adjudication, and a culture …
