Syfers, James W.: Law and Philosophy Subversive of Democracy

This collection of essays addresses the problem of establishing democratic control over the government and forging a legal system that is supportive of it. This volume explores certain bodies of law - as well as a deep-seated cultural-philosophical premise behind the law - that are subversive of democracy in the United States. James W. Syfers examines the basis of the opposition to the International Bill of Human Rights (IBHR) - the international legal foundation for democracy worldwide - in the same cultural-philosophical premise known as philosophic individualism.
