    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Jirí Pribán's book contributes to the field of systems theory of law in the context of European legal and political integration and constitution-making. It puts recent European legislative efforts and policies, especially the EU enlargement process, in the context of legal theory and philosophy. Furthermore, the author shows that the system of positive law has a symbolic meaning, reflecting how it also contributes to the semantics of political identity, democratic power and moral values, as well as the complex relations between law, politics and morality.

    'Jiri Priban brilliantly challenges us to rethink our conventional ideas about the relationship between morality, culture and law - in particular, constitutional law. In this erudite and compelling book, he takes up the thorniest problems of today’s Europe, including the enlargement of the European Union and post-communist constitution-making in Central Europe, and analyses them against the theory of symbolic communication through law. A bold, ambitious, relentlessly intelligent work.' Wojciech Sadurski, Professor in the Department of Law; European University Institute in Florence. 'Jirí Pribán's rich and sophisticated discussion thoughtfully explores law's complex interactions with morality and politics, and the crucial significance of constitutions in linking legal, moral and political systems. Not least, he highlights major implications for European politics today of the legal and constitutional realities he identifies.' Roger Cotterrell, Anniversary Professor of Legal Theory Queen Mary, University of London 'Pribán manages to put together a timely exposition of the connection between law, politics and morality, both abstractly and in the context of post-communist Central Europe, through a convincing reworking of his previous theses and and expansion in the direction of a firmer understanding of temporality.' International Journal for the Semiotics of Law
