Law in the context of moral crisis of the society

Abstract

For the current postmodern period, the pluralism of values is typical. The value of morality finds itself in a crisis.

The consequence of that is (except others) the paradigmatic transformation of law in that sense, that it is required and expected from the law to be the substituent of the morality. But the law is not able to successfully cope with this role.

That is because the legal rules are based on other principles than the moral rules. This paper offers some thesis regarding this material which will be confronted with the examples of everyday life.

The aim of this paper is rather than to offer a complex opinion on relationship between law and morality, to raise partial questions and answers to them with ambition to arouse an interest not only about discussion about moral values, but also about these values themselves.
