Dignity, Rights and Virtues in the Department of Values
The chapter aims to show that dignity is not an empty concept but it adds something to other values and this is reflected in Dworkin holistic approach to values. Last Dworkin's project is to transcend the language of rights to a new political perspective in which responsibility and virtues are crucial. But this is problematic for Dworkin's engagement to liberalism.
Liberty and Equality as the Morality of the Rule of Law
After presenting a schematic map of the concepts at stake (liberty, equality) in so far as they are relevant for the general topic (their relationship with rule of law – from now on RoL), and after examining different forms of their relationships, this entry focuses on the specificity of the relationship between liberty and equality in the legal context. The title suggests that a combination of liberty and equality is the very basis of every legal system inspired by RoL. This circumstance requires the identification of different versions of the idea of RoL.
