- Summary:
- Looking specifically at the Nazi, fascist, and Stalinist regimes, Horcher (aesthetics and philosophy of law, Pazmany Peter Catholic U., Budapest) asks how law became the dumb servant to totalitarian power, and more precisely the degree to which law is responsible for making the birth of totalitarian regimes possible. How far, he ponders, did the moral neutrality of law assist human brutality. Distributed in the US by ISBS. c. Book News Inc.
