Course Description
Jurisprudence-II offers a conceptual study of particular notions that are related to or tend to affect the idea of law. This study begins with a critical analysis of the general question of normativity of law and, consequently, law's relation to the notion of morality. It follows this analysis with a theoretical inspection of the adequacy of law's response to the demand for justice. The course, then, investigates the role recognition plays in formation of identities and how this affects distribution and enjoyment of rights. The second part of the course presents a sociological approach probing law's links with concepts of class, race, gender, and creed. The course concludes with a study of circumstances of discrimination and oppression within the grounding of law and legal systems.
