Are you a legal scholar with an interest in philosophy, then this specialisation is an excellent addition and advancement of the study of positive law (i.e. applicable law that is expressed in acts, treaties and jurisprudence). Law, after all, is a structured principle of society and correspondingly an expression of the prevailing principles. This means that it is one of the most tangible forms in which philosophical ideas about justice and power are reflected. Conversely, these philosophical theories and perceptions are also nurtured and formed by law.
This specialisation is only offered in Dutch.
