Spring 2024 Legal Humanities: Unnatural Law
Collegium Institute invites you to apply for the Spring 2024 Legal Humanities Fellowship. This semester we will read legal theorists not often discussed in philosophy of law classes, including Carl Schmitt, Peter Kropotkin, Joseph de Maistre, and more. By examining the claims of these theorists on how law is or should be structured, readers can study their perspectives on the morality of humans as a whole. Is the human person inherently good or evil? How should we structure a legal system with this in mind? Join us as we explore legal theories from anarcho-communism to theocratic monarchism and everything in between.
