The various research groups involved offer a complementary and interdisciplinary perspective by connecting the diverse subjects…

‘Wie meent rechts- en levensbeschouwing te kunnen scheiden, schaadt beide. Hij vervalst zijn rechtsovertuiging, omdat hij het teruggrijpen op de hoogste waarde stelselmatig vermijdt’, aldus Paul Scholten (1875-1946), één van de grootste, zo niet dé grootste rechtsfilosoof die de Lage Landen hebben v…
