- Summary:
- In 'Ethics at the Edges of Law', Cathleen Kaveny argues that religious moralists should treat the law as a valuable conversation partner, rather than a mere instrument for enforcing judgments about morality and public policy. Using cases and concepts from tort law, contract law and criminal law, Kaveny shows how they can be used to illuminate the work of some of the most important contemporary Christian ethicists.
